Memoir isn’t about what happened. It’s about what you’ve come to understand.

I came to this work through my own memoir. Writing it changed the way I understand my life, my experiences, and my voice on the page. The clarity, fulfillment, and self-discovery that emerged from that process were unlike anything I had encountered before—and that is what ultimately led me to want to help others do the same.

While I am a newly certified book coach, I have spent decades working as an editor in one form or another, supporting friends and fellow writers in their creative projects alongside my own. I bring deep empathy to this work because I know firsthand how vulnerable, exhilarating, and challenging it can be to shape lived experience into story. At the same time, I believe strongly in craft. I will cheer you on, encourage you, and support you—but I won’t let unclear thinking or sloppy writing slide. My goal is not only to help you finish a book, but to help you become a stronger, more confident writer through the process.
