What do you do…
… for work?
I am your ghostwriter. I take the ideas, expertise and stories in your head and turn them into crisp language so you can share your brilliance with those who matter most.
… for fun?
Read. Write. Walk. Hike, when it’s not too hot. Lately I’ve been binge-watching “Bones,” because I think I secretly wish I were a scientist.

“Rise Up” by Andra Day
Also featured in a Beats by Dre ad, featuring Serena Williams.
Why did you pick this song? What does it do for you?
I just discovered the song this morning, but I can tell it’s a keeper for me – especially since it was paired with Serena Williams in the Beats ad that’s going crazy online right now. I get a lot of inspiration from athletes because their struggles are so visceral – they have to be both physically strong and mentally tough – and it inspires me to see that in action.
For me, the song is like a quiet, internal anthem that helps with the mental toughness when facing anything hard in life:
I’ll rise up
I’ll rise unafraid
I’ll rise up
In spite of the ache
I’ll rise up
And I’ll do it a thousand times again
