About Me

I grew up in Michigan, spending summers with my grandparents in the Upper Peninsula, where adventure, independence, and a love of storytelling first took root. Early in my career, I built a strong foundation in leadership and organizational management, overseeing operations, internal communications, and cross-departmental collaboration for manufacturing companies. These experiences taught me that true leadership isn’t just about managing projects and people—it’s about leading with precision, purpose, and impact.
Outside of my professional career, I earned a black belt in taekwondo and served as an instructor, an experience that deepened my commitment to discipline, focus, and the balance between creativity and structure, principles that continue to shape my work today. A lifelong outdoor enthusiast, I’ve navigated both solo and group canoeing expeditions across the Boundary Waters and Northern Ontario, and hiked deep into the backcountry wilderness of Washington, British Columbia, and Arizona.
In 2020, I relocated to Arizona to focus more fully on my passion for writing. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing from Arizona State University, graduating summa cum laude. Earlier, during a pivotal year living on Orcas Island, I completed the first draft of a novel while exploring the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest. My travels across Germany, France, Spain, and Argentina have further expanded my understanding of storytelling across cultures.
Today, I combine a broad skill set—ghostwriting, editorial project management, content strategy, and SEO-focused writing to craft powerful narratives that resonate with audiences and drive results. Whether collaborating closely with authors to refine their voice or managing large-scale editorial projects under tight deadlines, I bring a rare mix of strategic thinking, creative insight, and real-world resilience to every project.
For me, writing is about more than just words. It’s about telling the kinds of stories that last, the ones shaped by experience, perseverance, and a clear understanding of what moves people.
