Host

Like the folktales we’ll be exploring together, I am a tapestry of traits, and characteristics. I a dreamer, an adventurer and a storyteller. I’m a teacher, a life-long learner, and a writer. There are many strands of fabric, of histories and experiences woven together to bring me here to host this podcast. In a past life, I was a traveler, and an explorer. After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in communication, my husband I taught English overseas. The experience was both exhilarating and challenging. After traveling and teaching for several years, I continued my education, earning an International MBA from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Today, I am a writer, a wife, a mom and a podcaster

I am particularly drawn to folk stories because they are a representation of what we, as humans hold dear. Folktales attempt to explain the mysteries of the world, and name the magic that stitches our world together. They have always been some of my favorite stories to read to my children, I think because they speak to our desire to better understand this shared life experience.

On a more personal note, this podcast will hopefully give me further insight into a children’s book series I am writing.
