Speaking & Teaching

I’m available to speak to your group about Scandinavian food and culture, mythology and folklore, collecting and compiling your family recipes and history, and the writing process. Based in Seattle, I’m available for both in-person and virtual appearances.

Some favorite past classes and presentations include:

Sharing Intergenerational Heritage through Food: a Program for Daughters of Norway featuring both personal story and practical application.
