LIFE & LEADERSHIP COACHING
MY INTERESTS
Creativity and the arts are a large part of my life. I am a writer and enthusiastic audience member of live music, dance, and theatre. In 2018, I completed my first play, Take Down The Letters, and it was produced in Lafayette and New Orleans, Louisiana and in June 2025 will have a reading at Naked Stage Productions in Surrey, BC, Canada. I have written two additional full length plays and more than sixty short plays. As a winner of the PlayOffs my ten minute play, "What Secret?" will be produced by the Playwrights' Center of San Francisco in its Short Play Festival on October 27, 2024.
I love supporting others in their creative journeys.
​
I enjoy walking in my neighborhood and on the beach, hiking in the woods, practicing Pilates, and tending my garden. I love to read and travel, exploring new places and ideas on and off the page. Being a steward of the natural environment and supporting social justice issues are important to me.
​
I will help you to discover and pursue your interests so that you may weave the strands of your life into a unique design.
​
I moved back to Oakland, CA from Lafayette, LA and am accepting new clients at this time.
