I believe everyone has a story worth telling. As an editor, writer, author, book coach, and lifelong lover of words, I’ve spent the last 10 years helping people and companies transform ideas into books, articles, and content that inform, inspire, and build connections.

Since 2016, I’ve worked with authors, entrepreneurs, publishers, and companies to create compelling stories that feel authentic rather than manufactured or AI slop (I have a strict no-AI policy in ALL of my content). 

Whether I’m editing engineering articles for IEEE.org, helping a first-time author write a good book, writing website copy for a robotics company, or developing content strategies for businesses, my goal is always the same: to help people find their voice and share their story with confidence. In the world of manuscripts, I’ve become known as a specialist for editing nonfiction books, where I excel at refining a manuscript while maintaining the author’s voice.

I spent the first 10 years of my career in the world of corporate sales and business development; now I am a professional editor, managing editor, and writer. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology from the University of Florida (go Gators!) and an associate’s degree in Communications from Polk State College.

I moved from Florida to NYC in 2010 and continued my career in sales, first in the legal field, then in the staffing industry, where I found a home for the next 5 years. I was helping clients find the right candidates, writing and editing resumes, and creating job descriptions and ads. I wrote technical training manuals, helped create content for websites, blogs, and social media for my employers, and became a national trainer in my company. I also did presentations on resume and cover letter creation and content, LinkedIn profiles, and more at industry conferences and events around the country. While I was successful and mostly happy, I was unfulfilled.

At the end of 2016, I began taking on freelance writing clients on the side of my full-time day job.

I got four clients within one week and worked nights and weekends every day for three months before quitting my day job to write and edit full-time.

Within the first year, I made more money as a writer and editor than I did in my corporate position the previous year. I spent the next 10 years building a business, working with amazing clients, refining my skills, and being happier than I thought possible.

I was always a writer and editor. Now I get paid to do it!

About me personally:

I live in Brooklyn, New York, with my sweet, wonderful husband and two very fluffy cats.

I love to travel (2026 so far: Argentina, Antarctica, Denmark, and Sweden!), read, crochet, explore the city, get tattoos that remind me of moments, and try new restaurants. 

I also have a chronic illness. I have a very rare (around 5 people per million) incurable bone marrow/blood disease called paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). Long name to basically mean that, due to a (not inherited) gene mutation, my bone marrow only produces abnormal red blood cells, which the body then destroys. It’s sort of like Thanos-level anemia but has nothing to do with iron or other vitamin deficiencies. The main symptom is fatigue, so I also love to nap. I’m medicated and living a normal life, but it will always be a big part of my life now.

My favorite things:

• My family
• Seeing new places
• Discovering new excellent restaurants (easy in NYC!)
• Animal: penguin
• Authors: David Baldacci, Tahereh Mafi, Ann Aguirre, Neal Stephenson, and Andy Weir
• Color: teal
• Food: a great salad, dumplings, macaroni and cheese, Chinese food, pasta in general, and sushi
