Storytelling

After I graduated from the University of Windsor I moved to Toronto to pursue a career in television production.  During this time period I created Willy and had a dream to produce a dynamic and engaging children's show called WILLY'S WORLD  OF ADVENTURE.  A pilot was shot. Groovin Grub:  Episode G about healthy eating.  I was ready to start telling stories through the eyes of Willy.

As life sometimes does, several challenges crossed my path and I had to push pause on my dreams to share stories and create wonderful worlds from my imagination.  

An unexpected path in life took me down a new career as a Developmental Services Worker.  This is still work I do today.  Did this life change stop me from being creative and telling stories---absolutley NOT!!!  I embraced any time I can sing, read a story or even write a story with one of the kids I support at work.

As I got older I got Married and moved to Guelph.  Here I met the most incredible group of Storytellers that I have ever known.  They are the members of the Guelph Guild of Storytellers  

In 2012 I started as an audience member and jumped at the opportunity to participate in the open mic platform.  It was very soon after that I officially became a member of the guild and I now am a regular teller both at :

Tales From The Hill  

Tea N Tales 

I have been very happy and fortunate to  participate in several storytelling projects:

• A Creature Was Stirring: A Christmas Story in two voices (December 2018)
• A Bear in War: Remembrance Day Assembly at Edward Johnson PS
• History Hauntings at the Guelph Civic Museum (October 2018)
• Journey of the Storyteller (workshop with Marilyn Peringer --June 2017)
• Metamorphoses: Tales of Transformation (March 2017)

I will be telling again this Season at Tea N Tales on August 9th 2018 with Sarah Abusarar.  

Take a peek below and you will see the amazing group of tellers that  I  learn from and share stories with each month.
