The Life Stories Project is a collaborative effort of The Indiana Historical Society, WFYI Public Media, and Storytelling Arts of Indiana. Since 2013 the project has collected life story interviews with ordinary people living in Central Indiana. As the Digital Audio Editor I edit the interviews; selecting a sample to upload to the website. I listen carefully to the interview and establish meaningful subject tags for searching the database. I write a short description of the sample to generate listener interest. I produce CD copies for the participant and for the oral history achieve at the Indiana Historical Society.

Pathways to Employment, a series of short films, celebrates seven unique individuals who prove that hiring people with developmental disabilities is "Good for Business, Good for People & Good for the Economy." The films were produced for the The Arc of Indiana by filmmaker Ken Oguss, with support from the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration.

This episode of my podcast is a quick introduction to my storytelling, both written and traditional oral storytelling, and some of my character voices. Once there, please listen to my other story recordings!
