Biographical Notes

Carol's Artist's Profiles can be read on these
state and national web sites:

In her recent 20 years as a professional storyteller, Carol has entertained family audiences as well as adults including educators. Her relationship with her audiences is contagious. She loves telling stories and it shows! See [Applause]

This fascinating storyteller has developed an intimate relationship with words during her 30-year career as a speech/language pathologist in public schools. Having taught so many children to speak clearly and communicate effectively, she now delights in befuddling her audiences with the unusual effects of word play. Carol’s students have used their creative storytelling skills to entertain their classmates.

Carol is a licensed Utah Educator with a Master's Degree in Speech and Language Pathology and an Educational Specialist Degree in Educational Administration. In recent years she has acquired post graduate training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and is a Master Practitioner. She integrates her background and skills, weaving a tapestry of unlimited possibilities for excellence in storytelling!

For over 15 years, Carol has been a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians and the local organization, the Intermountain Magician's Assembly. She has taught her students to combine storytelling and magic in order to appear as performing artists in their school talent shows.

Carol is active in Toastmasters International/Metro Club of District #15. She has earned the Competent Communicator Certification and has completed the Storytelling series of speeches. The Bronze Award is within reach when she completes the Entertaining Speaker series..

Carol and other Storytellers from the Olympus Chapter of the Utah Storytelling Guild were on the Utah Arts Council's Performing Artists Tour 2006-2008 and continue to receive invitations to participate in Storytelling festivals and other venues..

Delightful Remembrances !


Salt Lake City's 2008-2009 First Night Celebration
Carol told stories to families at the Leonardo at Library Square 200 East and 500 South in Salt Lake City, UT

First Night 2009-2010 will have a "new look" and a new title. We look forward to more Storytellers in years to come as the new team continues to develop this celebration.

 

 

 

The Jewish Arts and Food Festival November 12, 2006

The public enjoyed free admission to stories, fun, food, music, dancing, books, arts, jewelry, vendors, and even an amusing and educational full-length movie. The festival community created an exotic Storytelling tent--what "ambiance!"

 

Stories: Zig a Zak! and The Sign!
