Book me for a reading!

I love connecting with young readers and bringing stories to life beyond the page! I offer interactive author visits for schools throughout Calgary and surrounding areas.

At this time, visits are offered exclusively as full-school assemblies rather than individual classroom sessions.

Each visit is designed to be fun, engaging, and interactive—giving students the opportunity to meet a published author, hear the story behind the book, ask their own questions, and (of course!) sing along.

Full-School Author Assembly — $150
Approximately 45–60 minutes

Each assembly includes:

  • Author introduction & reading of Brave Like the Buffalo

  • Interactive student Q&A

  • Brave Like the Buffalo sing-along

  • Meet & greet

Have a creative idea for your visit? I’d love to hear it! I'm always happy to collaborate with teachers and school staff to make the experience meaningful and memorable for their students.

If you're located in Calgary or a surrounding area, please complete the form below to get started.

I hold a valid police check and adhere to CBE FOIP protocols.
