Passion
I love helping others. My background in trauma-related humanitarian work in Athens, Greece gives me a unique way to understand people and what they're going through. Now, I offer free writing help to aspiring fiction authors online and also volunteer in a nearby community tutoring young students in reading and story development.

Best Story
When I was lead in a play in fourth grade, someone covered over a hole in the stage with a sheet after dress rehearsal. On the way to sing my solo during the actual play, I fell in that hole and the entire audience saw my underwear. You see, I flipped over and was wearing a skirt. Instead of panicking, I walked over to the microphone and belted out my solo. If I had stopped after my fall, that was all anyone would have talked about. But because I kept going, the only thing people could talk about was that after my fall, I got back up and sang my heart out. Now I help business professionals create their own stories every day that help their audience remember the determination my clients had through their struggles. And I teach these business professionals how to do this by using my story: the one where 500 people saw my undies on stage, but walked away with the memory of my powerful voice.
Origin Story
After trying to build a successful fiction editing business for years, I realized that the people who really needed my help were business owners. After talking to dozens of copywriting experts about my goal of marrying my editing work with writing for marketing, I kept hearing the same thing: "It can't be done." But I was sure it could be, and I set out to prove it. Now my copywriting firm offers powerful writing for businesses using our proven storytelling-framework that connects my clients to their dream audience. And we even offer ghostwriting services where we help authors realize their true voices without having to write a single word themselves. All because I was sure that I could, even when everyone said "You can't." The power of storytelling can do so much good in our world if we choose to embrace and harness its dynamic forces.
