My Story

“That’s an incredible story! You should write that down or record it!” This is a statement I have often said to many friends and acquaintances throughout my life. Our lives are full of stories because they contain our experiences, perceptions, and histories. Stories and the people who share them reveal character, humanity, humor, heartache, and joy found throughout our lives.

A lifetime of sharing and hearing amazing stories has inspired me to help people preserve their stories through writing and video with StoryCatcher Studios.

A turning point came in 2007, when I attended a three-day digital storytelling workshop. Three months later, I collaborated with a Mount Holyoke College faculty member on a video exploring innovation and change at the College. In 2015, I received funding to produce Presidential Footprints, a one-hour documentary tracing 79 years of architectural and presidential history at Mount Holyoke.

That work opened the door to a new creative chapter. Since then, I have produced video memoirs, worked with historical societies on community-history projects, and taught memoir and creative writing at Springfield Museums. What ties all of this together is the same thing that drew me to storytelling in the first place: helping people preserve and share the stories that matter to them.

Six and Sixty was selected for the 2026 DST–Zakynthos International Documentary Festival in the Education category and will screen in Greece October 2–4, 2026.

Now that you know a little bit of my story, what about yours? Whether you want to preserve family memories on film, explore your own life through writing, or develop a documentary or storytelling project, I’d be happy to help you find the best way to bring your stories to life.
