Welcome to More Than One Talent: MTOT Collective. I founded this collective to share my challenging yet rewarding journey as a person with multiple talents. It's taken me many years and decades of tears, pain, frustration, highs and lows. I've often been disregarded as unfocused and overlooked for "serious" opportunities because of my many abilities, skills, and talents.
After many years of searching and seeking, my clarity about multi-creativity came through understanding the first chapter of Genesis in the Scriptures, where I discovered GOD Himself created across multiple domains.
This revelation transformed how I view my diverse talents—not as confusing or scattered fragments but as a cohesive reflection of my Creator. While MTOT welcomes multi-creatives from all backgrounds, my guidance is grounded in Biblical wisdom and truth. I share these insights not as mere suggestions but as discoveries that brought me freedom—insights that might provide the clarity you've been seeking too. Whether you share my faith perspective or come from a different background, you'll find practical strategies here for thriving as a multi-creative. My hope is that as I share my journey authentically, you'll discover solutions that speak to your unique challenges, whatever path led you here.
If we were together right now, I'd look into your eyes and say this with my whole heart: In this collective, you are safe, seen, understood, and valued. Your journey with multiple talents matters here.
You are safe, seen, understood, and valued here.

My Journey
While I have various professional bios I could share, I've chosen to offer something more meaningful—an integrated perspective that reflects who I truly am. With each publication, article, and resource, you'll discover more layers of my story and experience.
I am, in many ways, my own first case study. The insights I share come from lived experience—real challenges, genuine breakthroughs, and tangible results. My multi-creative journey has been both my greatest challenge and my most profound teacher.
This approach allows me to share wisdom that's been tested rather than merely theorized. As we walk this path together, I invite you to connect with the principles and practices that have transformed my relationship with my multiple talents—and see how they might illuminate your own unique journey.
