“Because of her wonderful workshop, I feel my students are ready, confident and eager to explore the world of storytelling. She helped them to understand the different types of stories that can be told, how to choose a story that is right for them and to tell in a manner that is comfortable to them. I sincerely believe that her warm, accepting personality made my students comfortable enough to participate in her ‘delightful’ workshop.”
