Work with Me

My work fluidly moves between disciplines, including writing, public art, research, teaching, and facilitation. At its core, it is always about language: how we shape it, how it shapes us, and how it opens new ways of understanding and belonging.

Collaboration, for me, is about conversation. It is about meeting at the edges of disciplines, ideas, and experiences to create something neither of us could have made alone. I work with institutions, organizations, and individuals who see language as a force for connection and transformation, but I also welcome partnerships that push into unexpected territories.

Ways We Can Work Together

  • Speaking & Facilitation – I lead workshops, lectures, and discussions on language, storytelling, trauma, creativity, and meaning-making. Whether in universities, healthcare spaces, museums, or community gatherings, I create spaces for deep engagement and exchange.
  • Collaborative Projects – I partner with artists, educators, researchers, and organizations on initiatives that explore language’s role in personal, social, and cultural transformation. If your work intersects with questions of expression, perception, or belonging, let’s explore what we can create together.
  • Consultation & Research – Through The Center for Linguistic Health, I help individuals and institutions integrate language awareness into their work, whether in education, healthcare, the arts, or public service. I also advise on projects that require a nuanced understanding of how language shapes experience.
  • Site-Based & Immersive Work – My projects, such as Stations, engage with place, memory, and loss through language and public interaction. I develop installations and site-based experiences that invite participation and reflection, working with galleries, communities, and organizations.

If something in my work resonates with you, reach out. Whether your idea is fully formed or just a sense that there is something worth exploring, please contact me.
