A story expresses how and why one’s life changes. My story is no different. I began my career in healthcare public relations, then added marketing to that mix. After a couple of decades in corporate healthcare, teaching became a second career – making me a dual careerist. Oh, but wait there’s more, I created my own marketing communications practice – Tschetter & Associates – and for nearly 20 years worked with dozens of healthcare and other clients to enhance their business.
Someone once told me life is made of stepping stones and each step taken means we are one step closer to our real life’s purpose – they were right. At this stage of life and career, what has emerged is a great blend of education through healthcare writing, video storytelling, qualitative research, plus coaching and chairing doctoral dissertation learners along their journey to life-long learning.

Video Storyteller
A story expresses how and why one’s life changes. Words educate. Emotions show the realism. Faces make a connection. Effective storytelling always brings about a reaction.
