About Me

I have an obsession with words—reading them, writing them, learning their histories. Words are communication and connection. They're comfort and strength.  They're understanding.

​

And at the heart of it, that's what we all want: to be understood. To be seen.

​

I've spent my career seeing people. I earned a BA in psychology, then a J.D. Since then, I spent nearly two decades as a disability attorney. I met people at their lowest. I felt their struggle. I heard their stories. Again and again, I helped them articulate what they couldn't and then shaped their words into a narrative. 

​

But being a lawyer was never my calling. Writing is. And once I said it out loud, I went all in. Creative writing and novel-writing classes, workshops and webinars. I learned about writing; I read about writing; and I wrote.

​

I write.

 

Words spill out of me as essays, fiction, and even prose poetry. Long form and short. I feel compelled to write it all. My essays have found homes in literary journals and magazines, and my debut novel was recently selected for Storehouse Voices' Women & Words program at Penguin Random House.

​

Now I'm here because I want to use my passion and talent to help you. As a trauma-informed interviewer, I handle your challenges with care. As an expert researcher, I make sure the details are right. As an enthusiastic collaborator, I write your joy with the energy it deserves.

​

I'd love to help you find the words.
