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

I’m the communications specialist helping small businesses and startups produce personalized, actionable content across web, email, social and other messaging platforms. If you’re ready to use your business to inspire humans into greater health and personal growth, I’m here to help.

I’m the author of The Me, Without: A Year Exploring Habit, Healing, and Happiness (Ixia, 2019). It’s a personal growth memoir positing that we can find greater emotional value when we question our hard-rooted habits—even if only for a little while. Experts I interviewed across various industries help make sense of everything I learned. If you’re ready to shake up your inner life drastically, it’s here for you.

I’m the top-to-tail podcast producer behind shows that include the live dating podcast Love Bites Radio (Heritage Radio Network) and Service: Veteran Stories of Hunger and War (iHeartRadio).

And I’m the Director of Creative Projects for Cardoz Legacy, the team carrying Chef Floyd Cardoz’s legacy work forward. Floyd passed away in March 2020 from the Covid-19 virus. He was a colleague and friend, and I miss him.

In the past, I’ve been a stage actor (recognized by The New York Times and others), 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 an incurable illness, one that morphed and changed 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 world is undoubtedly challenging. But my unique experiences have nurtured innate strengths:

• When unexpected twists arise in life or work projects, I find creative solutions to keep moving forward.

• I was building remote teams with excellent communication and production skills long before the pandemic brought the greater world into quarantine.

• I ground my work with the intention and integrity that’s often missing in our modern, fast-paced digital workforce.

No matter the outlet, my goal is to produce written work that connects the personal and universal human experience. That encourages humans slow down and dig into their inner lives. That inspires brave choices. That promotes compassion and action. That motivates us to break molds we never needed to fit within.
