Available to hire
It seems no matter how I share my experiences - in a concert hall, an art gallery or a classroom – I am always a storyteller and the truth is my subject.
I now seek to share my wisdom, my passion and my maturity to help others tell their important stories. Fiercely loyal but tactfully honest. Energetic, positive & optimistic. Bold, fearless and creative in my problem-solving strategies. Respectful of other people, new ideas and different cultures. Dedicated – I have not been fired from a job nor quit one in haste. Culturally aware & youth oriented. Dependable and trustworthy.
