    Interests

    I love stories, whether they are in the form of books, movies, live storytelling events or data. To further my interest in storytelling I am pursuing the Storytelling Certificate Program at South Mountain Community College (SMCC). I also teach The Art of Storytelling at SMCC and host my own online storytelling show under the name The Third Doll.

    In the cooler months, I enjoy visiting Farmer's Markets, walking through art shows and going for walks around my neighborhood or trails.


    To relax during the warmer months, I crochet and quilt gifts for my friends and family. I also quilt with a group to make quilts for the battered women's shelter.
