Murphy started sharing stories as a child with puppet shows in her backyard in Ottawa.
Telling stories lead to writing and a great circle of creating, listening and sharing. Murphy especially loves coaching and teaching storytelling workshops; celebrating stories of Canadian women who paved the way is one of her greatest joys.
Murphy trained at the Toronto School of Storytelling and has more than 20 years experience as a professional storyteller.
