I began working as a storyteller with the MN Children’s Museum where I developed programs for families and helped run the ‘Once Upon A Story’ contest with the Saint Paul Pioneer Press. I worked with the MN storytelling community and served on the board of Northstar Storytellers. A five year stay in Denver, CO helped me connect with the Rocky Mountain Storytellers as a member of their advisory board – we put on the annual conference. Back in MN since fall of 2015 I connected with my community again and represented Story Arts of MN – the new incarnation of Northstar – at the 2016 Fringe Festival, I have performed in slams and concerts in MN and now am interested in organizing an annual offering of ghost stories called ‘Spirits in the City’ to take place over the holiday seasons to come, combining the talents of local word artists, the darkness of the season and the available spaces of local breweries.
