Inga Spencer is the visionary behind Narrative Vault, blending her deep passion for storytelling with over two decades of experience in education and editing. Born and raised in Indiana, Inga’s love for narratives began at a young age, surrounded by a family and community that valued the power of stories. She pursued this passion academically at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon, where she earned both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Education. Throughout her career, Inga has been captivated by how stories can connect people across generations, cultures, and experiences.
Inga’s teaching career spans a wide range of subjects, including English, reading, composition, mass media, photography, and journalism.

Her commitment to education and the art of storytelling has been recognized with a nomination for the Washington State Golden Apple Award for Excellence in Education, underscoring her dedication to fostering communication and understanding through narrative.
Inga’s passion extends beyond the classroom. She has devoted significant time to volunteering, particularly with local veterans, helping them craft and refine their stories for publication in Veterans’ Voices magazine. This work is a testament to her belief in the healing and empowering power of storytelling, and her dedication to helping others share their experiences in ways that are both meaningful and lasting.

Outside of her work with Narrative Vault, Inga remains deeply engaged in her community.
