CREATIVE | JOYFUL | CARING
Bringing all of myself to this world looks like building community, offering paths to wellbeing for individuals, and supporting the human spirit through a connection to nature. My body of work includes:
– Advancing local and long distance trails
– Leading group dance experiences
– Teaching yoga
– Writing for myself and others
Invisible Ink is a compilation of poems from recent travels, meditations on dance, nature, and what I’ve learned on this journey of living (so far).
I set about gathering my writing from the last year and added writing from more than a decade ago to compile this booklet of poems. I designed and published Invisible Ink at the end of December 2025, and it’s available for purchase for $15 while supplies last and only available for local delivery.
