Writing

As a freelance writer I’ve contributed pieces about life, contemplation, and faith to the Mockingbird website, to Faith Today, and to Give Us This Day. I’ve used my skills as a writer and editor throughout my administrative career in India, Vancouver’s Regent College, Cranmer Hall at Durham University, England, and at several colleges in Saskatchewan.

In my outdoorsy family of origin, vivid storytelling is practiced and esteemed. I carry tales from my years living abroad, and a repertoire of bear stories, in my “back pocket.” Through my journals I serve as historian to my immediate family.
