Writing, film and conversations about loss

Art, Grief, & Loss.

I wrote and directed Grasping For Hope, a short film about a woman experiencing miscarriage and loss.

That work became the foundation for Making Friends with Artists, my podcast. I explore the struggles artists face in their creativity and the search for the hope and community they deserve.

I'm not an expert in grief or loss. These topics are near and dear to me, and I've known too many people who are no longer here. I created this space to share my work, explore these experiences through art and help others along the way.

I also took part in a career counseling event with Leveraged Career Collective, where I spoke about grief and job loss.
