Whether it is conveying the latest in dinosaur discoveries or the subtleties of Buddhist art, I excel in story-driven experiences. Through simple language that engages the mind, heart, and senses, I make it easy and fun for audience members of all ages to become passionate about exploring the world around them.
Some past events have the power to disturb audiences as well as engage them—I have worked with sensitive materials that acknowledge the deep wounds of history and multiple points of view. And in my research, I sometimes uncover mysteries….I invite you explore these case studies—and contact me to find out more.
Women & Spirit: Catholic Sisters in AmericaTraveling Exhibit for the Leadership Conference of Women Religious and Seruto & Co.
Truly an untold story, the history of Catholic sisters in the United States has never been pulled together in an extensive exhibition before. Working with a dynamic team of sisters as well as the phenomenal exhibit and design team pulled together by Seruto & Co., I researched and arranged for the use of dozens of poignant artifacts as well as hundreds of images. In addition, I developed extensive curriculum materials for use in public and Catholic schools. We uncovered secrets and brought to light accomplishments of these modest women―deeds that enrich the history of women in this country.
