Creative Writing


Since becoming a certified facilitator in 2022, I've had the pleasure of leading workshops with Amherst Writers & Artists. AWA is deeply committed to nurturing writers from all backgrounds and experiences, celebrating the belief that every individual has a unique voice and a story worth sharing.

Narrative Medicine


Narrative Medicine starts with a simple premise: every patient is telling a story about their health.

As a vital tool for healthcare professionals, Narrative Medicine enhances the ability to truly understand and interpret patient experiences. But its value extends beyond healthcare—wherever people engage with others, these skills can improve relationships and outcomes.
