Frances believes that storytelling is transformative. With more than 10 years of experience working with nonprofit organizations and advocacy groups as a Communications and Development consultant, Frances has a keen understanding of how to creatively maximize use of technology and digital platforms to connect people to issues they care about using storytelling as a tool.
