Tona is a teacher, aspiring author, and creative soul who encourages everyone to step away from the screens and keep in touch with themselves and others. She is the co-founder of The Tampa Bay Letter Writers, a group of rogue writers who are not afraid to put down their phones and use snail mail to communicate.
She is also the creative director and founder of The Paper Seahorse, a studio based in Tampa, Florida, that is dedicated to creative and mindful pursuits. Through online and in person workshops and retreats, the studio is a haven for community and resource for connections.
Tona believes that we all need to put pen to paper and use our hands to express what is in our heads and hearts. She is surrounded by a team of dynamic cats and birds that help her connect to the magic of everyday.
