Amongst many other things, I'm a lifelong book addict, enthusiastic hobby-ist, and strong believer in the creative inspiration sparked by long neighborhood walks.
I've dedicated my entire career to perfecting what I like to call The Art of the Narrative: a lifelong search for the good, true, and beautiful within the stories we tell.
Since writing my first 'book' at 8 years old (don't worry, I've outgrown my Comic Sans obsession) I've ghostwritten for CEO's of $600+ million dollar orgs; rebranded 6 small businesses & nonprofits; written 275+ client newsletters and 25+ SEO articles & blogs; and scripted 28 podcast episodes. Before starting my own business, I worked first as a journalist for international humanitarian aid groups, and later as a Communications Manager. I spent years spearheading hundreds of digital communication projects while rallying teams of photographers, designers, and writers.
It was during this time that I began to understand just how much of success (and failure!) comes down to clarity, connection, and a well-told story.
I've always had a particular type of curiosity. My zest for life has led me to more spontaneous adventures & meaningful conversations than I can count, and more than 8 years of writing about it.
That's what I'm here to do - to help translate your complex ideas into a cohesive message, and find platform-savvy ways to share it with the world.

• Burns through journals like they're going out of style — Keeping a personal writing practice centers me like nothing else.
