I would love to help your city tell a truer story about itself. I am passionate about bringing attention to people places that are overlooked or underestimated, and more importantly, to the people who live there.

You can send me to your city to speak or for a four-day residency where I will wander my way through beloved places and hidden gems, explore livable neighborhoods, talk to locals, and share the beauty I find. My brand is authentic, relational storytelling.
