I’m the freelance writer, editor, and interview journalist behind hundreds of human-interest feature articles and columns.

I’m the freelance content writer and communications specialist helping businesses produce personalized, actionable content across web, email, social, and other messaging platforms—work that sounds like them, not me.

I’m the author of The Me, Without: A Year Exploring Habit, Healing, and Happiness (Ixia, 2019), a case-study memoir positing that we can drastically shake up our inner lives if we question hard-rooted habits and let go of those we know do not serve us well—with experts across medicine, engineering, psychology, and art providing insight.

I’m the tech/creative podcast producer behind shows including Love Bites Radio (Heritage Radio Network) and Service: Veteran Stories of Hunger and War (iHeartRadio)—shows that dig into the heart of what makes us human.

And I’m the Director of Creative Projects for Cardoz Legacy—the team carrying Chef Floyd Cardoz’s legacy work forward—and creative consultant for businesses including Heavenly Tea, Lady Farmer, Pennyville Station, and more.

In the past, I’ve been a stage actor (recognized by The New York Times), a monologue coach, a costume builder, a playwriting teacher, an early education teacher, a private chef, a recipe builder, a food stylist, a nanny, an office manager, a bartender, and a restaurant hostess.

Why the range?

I have a chronic illness—one that morphed and evolved while I got my bachelor’s degree in fine arts and then built my career in New York City.

Living with illness and disability in an inequitable and often inaccessible world is undoubtedly challenging. But my experience has encouraged valuable (and helpful) skills:

• When unexpected twists arise, I pivot and find creative solutions to keep projects moving forward.

• I run a disciplined, self-motivated, and communicative remote business that was established long before the pandemic brought the greater world into quarantine.

• Recognizing the brief amount of time we each get on this planet, I create work grounded in the intention and integrity that are often missing in our modern, fast-paced digital workforce.

No matter the end form, I create work that is true to the unique mission and voice of my clients. That connects personal and universal human experiences. That promotes compassion and action. That motivates us to break molds we never needed to fit within.
