Despite the Odds 
Educational & Inspirational Storytelling
Picture
I am an experienced public speaker and have presented to a range of different audiences including:
  • Community Groups
  • Donor Families
  • Library & Teaching Staff
  • Medical Professionals
  • School Students
There is nothing as powerful as taking the time to walk in another's shoes.  As a storyteller, I engage the audience while sharing stories from my life. 

My diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis in the early 70s came with an expiration date – only a 50% chance that I would reach my teens. I have always viewed my expiration date as a challenge and defied all the odds to become a mother, to travel overseas, and to work in the career of my choice. At 38, I became overly familiar with the purgatory that is the transplant waitlist.
Twelve years post-transplant, I can laugh without coughing, I'm an award-winning librarian, freelance writer and children’s author – not half bad for the little girl given a 50% chance of making it to her teens.​
