I can help you tell your story.
I offer services to help you develop stories on a variety of levels—from preparing an individual story for a performance, Moth StorySLAM, TED Talk or work presentation to developing a body of work into a solo show or memoir. Contact me to see how I can shepherd you through the creative process as a story coach, director or editor.

Get the instruction I offer in my group classes on a one-on-one basis. I’ll help you structure and revise your material, tap into deeper themes and hone your individual storytelling voice and performance style.
Directing
Take the leap from the page to the stage. First, I’ll work with you to ensure you have a strong script with a central theme and compelling dramatic arc. Then, we’ll stage the piece to use the full language of theater to bring your story to life. Throughout the process, I’ll work with you to understand your strengths, weaknesses and goals to help you create a piece that stays authentic to who you are while amplifying what makes your voice, story and persona unique.
Editing
Do you have a bigger story to tell? I’ll work with you to shape your collection of stories into a memoir with a unique point of view and cohesive structure.
