Writing is a huge part of who I am. I’ve been writing all my life in various forms, including poetry, essays, copywriting and technical writing. I also weave my love of language into storytelling, public speaking and acting.

I’m passionate about communicating your story and powerfully getting to the heart of what makes you and your business stand out.
