C.C.’s Philosophy

"My core belief is that humans are creatures of storytelling (as well as being social creatures). I’m living my best life when exploring this through the lenses of creativity, community, and curiosity.

​

"I express my personal creativity through artistic pursuits as an emerging writer, amateur musician, and hobby photographer. 

​

"I’m a third-generation war veteran who’s further supported the Defence community through my freelance business, Ryter Publishing, to produce award-winning tour books.

 

"I embody a curiosity mindset through developing as a leader in the arts, culture, and heritage sector."
