GRETCHEN PORTER BIOGRAPHY

My name is Gretchen. I live in Louisville, Kentucky and enjoy putting movement into words. I have always been fascinated with language. The desire to better express myself has led me to learn Spanish and love the visual language of art and dance. I was awarded the Sterling Scholar award in the field of dance in 2017 and earned a degree in communications and minor in dance from the University of Utah in 2020. I love the idea that good communication can move us. It can shift our perceptions, transport our opinions, and stretch our implicit biases. As a writer with a reputation for honesty, fairness, and ingenuity I strive to captivate, inform, and yes, move people with my works.
