Writing Work

"pull one out and figure out how many pieces of paper is it" -JSCM

Training, Workshopping, Editing, Storytelling and Implementation

I work as a presenter, storyteller and workshop lead in various engagement projects. My formats include live presentation, traditional writing, video, poetry and real time editing of organization resources or individual outputs.
As a leader in FER (Family Engagement in Research) my expertise holds a focus on inclusion, empathy and equality through valuable story sharing.
Partnering with Accessooble, we are able to create a video story that balances the partner in authenticity and honouring while meeting the projects objectives and story purpose.

Currently I run a Community Pillars of BC project which bridges gaps in community for families of children with complex health and/or developmental disability designations. Working in partnership to first train with the F-words for Child Development, second implement for organization use and third to create tools and resources for future organizations in partnership of community building around a strength-based and child centred service model.
We are actively learning and exploring with numerous champions in BC and Yukon as well as peer input internationally. Our Phase 1 Group A project is well underway with joint collaboration between three groups working through the CAN-Implement project under CanChild and KBHN. 
For more information on this project please email Lynda.

Find your inspiration.  Memoir Prompt Coaching

Ready to explore your own potential or unlock your creative self? Over zoom I hold small group prompt writing sessions catered to the individuals in attendance. Together we write and expand our creative atmosphere and confidence.

I often find my inspiration outdoors.
Really, it is everywhere and anywhere.
​Try new places, new spaces and don't forget to look inside yourself.
Also, don't forget to look for inspiration within your community through the people who share your space.
