As a former “teacher of the year,” Sandra embraces the joy of connecting with others and helping them discover their unique stories and the positive power stories can have on their lives. Come away from her dynamic workshops energized not only to share and write your stories but also inspired to live your best possible story.

As well as presenting workshops, Sandra is a highly sought-after speaker and keynoter at community venues and conferences across the country—Mayo Health Updates Conference, Survive Well Cancer Conference, Snowbird Promising Youth Conference, Mayo Veterans Learning Experience, Rio Salado College, Flagstaff Writers Connection, Positive Paths, National Association for Poetry Therapy Conference, Kanuga Journal Conference, National Association of Social Studies Conference, and more.

“Sandra Marinella connects immediately and deeply with her audience as she invites each participant to enter the transforming world of the personal story, a place brimming with hidden, sometimes joyful but often painful memories. Her easy openness in sharing her personal story of being a high school teacher, cancer survivor, veterans advocate, wife, mother, daughter, friend and writer creates the magic that opens the minds and hearts of all she meets to the power and healing possibilities of their stories. The workshop participants leave with only one regret: That storytelling and story-listening with Sandra could not go on and on for many more sessions.“
