Storyteller, Author, Keynote Speaker, & Teacher

Inspiring and transforming lives through storytelling

Welcome to my website. I wear a lot of hats and this website is a place to bring at least a few of my professional hats together. Contact me if you need a speaker, a teacher, a storyteller, or a keynote presenter.

I am a:

Storyteller – I have been performing stories on stages since 2007. You learn more about my performances and see a list of some of my solo show offerings here.

Author – in addition to being published in magazines, anthologies, and reviews, I am the author of the urban fantasy novel Caged (under pen name JP Robinson) and the memoir-in-stories, Stages: My Life in Stories. Find my latest books here.

Speaker – I have led presentations, workshops and webinars for BAE Systems, The Brookings Institution, George Washington University School of Business, Jack Morton International, and The World Bank, among others. Contact me for a list of keynote and speaking engagement offerings.

Teacher and Coach – I help people find their stories through one-on-one and small class sessions, both online and in-person. Read about some of the many workshops I offer here.

I am also the Founding Executive Director of Better Said Than Done, Northern Virginia’s premier storytelling organization with monthly storytelling shows in-person in and around the DMV, and online everywhere. Better Said Than Done also produces the annual Women’s Storytelling Festival.

That’s not all the hats I wear, but it’s probably enough for one website.
