For nearly two decades, I have worked at the intersection of storytelling, social justice, and embodied practice, creating spaces where personal narratives become tools for healing, advocacy, and connection. My work has taken me from co-creating youth storytelling initiatives in refugee camps to collaborating with incredible partner organizations to design social justice curricula for educators, always centering the power of lived experience and collective voice.

Raised in Northern British Columbia, my connection to storytelling is deeply tied to the land, the animals, and the movement of water. I grew up paddling across quiet lakes, dipping my paddle into the stillness, listening to the droplets of water fall back into themselves. I learned that stories are not only told—they are felt, carried in the body, and passed through generations. This understanding has shaped my approach to narrative work, embodiment, and healing, blending the art of storytelling with mindfulness, movement, and trauma-informed practice.

My academic background in human security, peacebuilding, and criminal justice deepened my understanding of systemic injustice, migration, and community resilience, shaping the way I approach narrative work as a means of both personal and societal transformation. Throughout my career, I have facilitated storytelling and creative workshops for displaced youth, educators, incarcerated individuals, and community advocates, helping people reclaim agency over their own narratives.

As the Founder of The Loom Collective, I bring together my expertise in narrative storytelling, embodied movement, and justice-driven facilitation to create spaces where people can process transitions, reflect on their experiences, and be witnessed in community. Through storytelling and connection, I strive to honor the voices too often left unheard and ignite the power of shared narratives.
