I help people tell their stories.

I'm a NYC-based writer who has worked on numerous nonfiction book projects as a collaborative writer and editor.

I partner closely with authors to develop books for major publishing houses, taking projects from the proposal stage through final execution, including conducting interviews with the author, developing the story, and drafting and revising the manuscript.

I also work as a copywriter and content strategist, helping brands communicate powerfully and succinctly about who they are and what they do.

I'm dedicated to telling stories that elevate the voices of those not always heard, and I've worked for organizations like the oral history project StoryCorps and produced work for the Obama Foundation. Above all else, I love helping people tell their stories with impact, clarity, and beauty.

More about what I've done and do.

I grew up just outside of Philadelphia, PA and have a degree in English and economics from Muhlenberg College. I studied nonfiction writing and multimedia storytelling at the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies in Maine where I worked in a collaborative environment with other writers, photographers, and radio makers. 
​
I'm curious and excited about how creative processes unfold, what inspires us, and how we use art to connect with one another. Together with friend and co-creator Heidi Sistare, I run Two Create, a project and platform that offers tools and workshops for creativity and collaboration.

​Let's work together.

If you’re interested in working together on your book, story, or a collaborative project, I'd love to hear from you.
