I show up when the most important systems need tending: the stories, and the things that need saying while they still can be. This work has a name now. I'm lucky enough to be a professional storyteller. It used to just be what some people were called to do.

How I got here

Bainbridge Death Support is named the way it is on purpose.

Support, as in: someone shows up, figures out what's broken, and helps you through it. I come from documentary work and digital storytelling, the kind of craft that turns a life into something you can hold.

At some point the most important stories started finding me. I followed them all the way here.

motherhood is the most mind-bending experience. Levi, my absolute joy


I live on the south end of Bainbridge Island with my people and my animals. The water is close. The ferry comes and goes. This place teaches you something about impermanence whether you ask it to or not.

Bainbridge Death Support calls home the ancestral lands of the Suquamish People (suq̀wabš, the People of Clear Salt Water) and their Coast Salish relatives, who have tended these shores and waters since time immemorial, and tend them still. It's God's country. We are so fortunate to be here.

If this place has given you something too, consider giving back through the Suquamish Foundation, which supports the Tribe's cultural revival, education, and community.
