What I Do
Journalism / Content / Strategy
I’ve been working as a professional journalist for nearly 20 years, both on staff & independently for publications such as Bloomberg Businessweek, Fast Company, USA Today, San Francisco, & Hemispheres.
Some of my favorite topics to write about include business, travel, social justice, animal conservation, & body acceptance. My main goal: to share stories with the world & to help people feel less alone.
* Additionally, I enjoy facilitating workshops for clients, moderating panels, virtually & in-person.
Writing Coaching
I love working with & encouraging those who need an extra nudge with their writing. Maybe you want to write a book & don’t know where to start (or just need some accountability), maybe you want feedback on your movie script, or maybe you want to find out how to make a living as a freelance writer.
My offerings include a single, 60-min coaching session, & a package of three sessions for those looking for more support.
I meet you where you are, & craft a plan to help you move forward.
Joy & Vulnerability Writing Workshops
My Joy & Vulnerability Virtual Writing Workshops are so much fun & always sell out!
Each one combines easy writing prompts, judgement-free sharing, & dance breaks. I create a sacred, safe, & nourishing space for each participant.
I host one-off workshops monthly, as well as seasonal workshops. Each one is limited to 8 womxn, and some include 1:1 writing coaching sessions with me.
