Storytelling in all shapes and sizes.
-
Creating & Collecting Stories
Tailored multimedia storytelling to help you reach your audience with powerful messages that show the impact and humanity of the work you do.
My approach includes drawing from archival materials and developing new evidence/material through in-depth interviews, translating complex concepts into approachable narratives.

Managing & Producing Storytelling Projects
Storytelling projects come in all forms; they can be unwieldy and overwhelming. I design and manage projects, serving as a broker between your organization and other stakeholders involved to ensure the tone and style of your stories align with your mission and vision.
My work includes gathering a series of stories for a larger report or website, gathering and developing stories for advocacy campaigns, and incorporating storytelling into public health interventions.

Ethical Storytelling Training
I offer my skills and experience from 20+ years of work in global health, documentary work and communications for gathering and sharing stories in a way that centers the well-being and perspectives of those with lived experience.
I provide training on ethical and participatory storytelling, supporting your organization to tell your story in a way that challenges stigma and builds compassion.
I work with clients to develop storytelling skills, from short, targeted training sessions to extended support complemented with coaching and mentoring.
