I’ve always loved words. As a child I spent afternoons reading stories that felt like a warm, familiar blanket. That love of words grew into a love of crafting them — first as a reader, then as a writer, and eventually as someone who helps others shape their stories too.
With a background in English and theater, I understand both the structure of storytelling and the emotion that makes it memorable. I’ve edited and supported a wide variety of manuscripts, from non-fiction and a wide variety of fiction genre, including historical fiction, to suspense, and family drama. My goal is simple: to help you discover the strongest version of your voice, without losing what makes your writing uniquely yours.
Writing is deeply personal, and every project holds a piece of the writer behind it. I honor that. Whether you’re shaping your first draft or refining your final chapters, I meet you where you are—with honesty, kindness, and a commitment to helping your work shine. Together, we’ll build clarity, confidence, and a story you’re proud to share.
