Teaming up with local businesses, nonprofit and charity groups, we are able to bring \u201csuperhero magic\u201d to community events and fundraisers. When not out saving the world, I enjoy crafting, yoga and indulging my inner nerd in comic books and pop culture. I am currently working on a Superhero Storytime program with the Anchorage Library.
