"My passion for helping people recall their life stories emanates from the greatest gift my parents left us. It is a 200-page typed and xeroxed memoir that relays their stories in their own words and images.

Without it we would be hard-pressed to recall their history, even less so our children and grandchildren. When I talk about this lasting treasure, the frequent regretful response is “I wish I had found the time to record my parents’ stories.” 

In over two decades in the non-profit world, my interpersonal, facilitation and advocacy skills were called upon in building national interethnic and interreligious relations. I led, developed and implemented community-based programs.

My undergraduate and graduate studies in literature and history taught me the value of story-telling. A lifelong active interest in literature, crafts, art and photography convinced me of the power of the visual image and the spoken word to convey stories. 

Those interests and skills led me to Milestones & Meanings. I love the interaction with the people I interview, the trusting and respectful relationships we develop, and the knowledge I gain from learning about other times and other worlds. I am privileged to help others create their own legacies, as I have received mine".
