To be a professional writer is my lifelong dream.

After losing my father unexpectedly in 2020 and experiencing my own near-fatal accident three years later, it was clear there was no more time to waste! Why do we wait for "the right moment" to chase our dreams? Thus, in late 2023, I made the decision to transition into writing full-time (after 17 years in corporate administration).

As I move forward, my desire is to apply my creativity and skills to projects that make a positive impact in the world. 

My written work has lately been featured in The Sober Curator, Get Griefy Magazine, and‍ ‍Women Who Podcast Magazine (ongoing contributor). I am honored to be consistently invited to appear on platforms where I speak openly about being the child of a parent suffering with addiction (including Liz Quinn’s Healing Hearts and the Coffee, Grief and Gratitude podcast with renowned author Anne Gudger).

Recent professional endeavors include a children’s book I co-authored with Kathy Barron, Sammy’s Forest Fiasco. We are SO proud of the message in this story and worked extremely hard to bring our vision for Sammy to life!

To date, I have produced two seasons of the Grief is My Side Hustle podcast, (hosted by grief expert and trauma therapist Meghan Riordan Jarvis) in addition to completing proofreading work for Sandra Jonas Publishing. As well, a huge honor came in 2025 when I interviewed esteemed author Hannah Sward (STRIP: A Memoir).

I am passionate about the craft of storytelling, whether it’s a well-researched article or a creative work based on imagination. After all, the words we weave together to make our mark on the world will far outlast our physical presence. Why not make every assignment as impactful as possible?

Visit the See My Work page to peruse a selection of my published writing; I’ll be posting more very soon. I sincerely hope you’ll consider me for your next project and look forward to connecting with you!
