My Story

While growing up, my parents ran a community theater company... which meant I often bossed my classmates around on the playground.
The story goes like this... when I was 3, I would sit at the table my parents had their meetings - and I would raise my hand until they would call on me. I would then say "I think
Californ-ja." It was the biggest word I knew at the time (pronunciation be damned) and I wanted to be important. My parents kindly obliged... and they kind of never stopped.
So now I have a blog and a website.
​
I am currently living in Washington and I am the Education & Outreach Coordinator for Edmonds Center for the Arts and I'm pretty ecstatic about it. My adorable husband, Ed, and I just arrived in April 2019 and we are loving the exploration of our new home.
I hope you enjoy my stories and poems and things. But if you don't - that's cool too - just maybe don't tell me.
