Interests

Penny enjoys travelling and has been fortunate to visit Canada, Mexico, Australia, South Africa and several countries throughout Europe. She loves theater, and the performing arts, both as a participant and as an audience member.

She is an actor and performer in addition to being a writer and has presented at TEDx talks and storytelling events across the country. Because she understands that public speaking can produce anxiety, Penny enjoys coaching presenters and speakers to be fearless and confident at professional appearances, whether in small groups settings or in front of thousands.
