In addition to her writing and speaking, Mandy is also an experienced teacher, having taught writing and literature at the University of British Columbia, the University of Utah, and the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Mandy is a deeply thoughtful and empathetic person, with a talent for seeing the beauty and potential in others.
