Doria’s Background and History

photo by Carlton SooHoo

I have a bachelor’s degree in Comparative Literature and Anthropology from Oberlin College, and a Masters in Celtic Languages and Literatures from Harvard University Extension School. Recently, I was a featured teller at the 2006 Three Apples Storytelling Festival in Bedford, MA. More importantly, I love to tell stories, and have been reading and telling them to children for a couple years now around the greater Boston/Cambridge area, primarily in schools and bookstores. Most of the stories I tell are from the Folk and Mythic traditions of world cultures such as that of the Ashanti, China, Scandinavia, Native North America, Ireland, Japan, France and others.
