Hire me 
She story starts with you

Are you trying to get some of your life down on the page? Struggling to find the words to share your story?

Work with me to carve your life or life event into a readable text or pocket-book to share with friends and family.

❋ be behind the interview

The Write Your Life package includes three interviews with me to get the heart of events, story, and nail your tone of voice. We’ll also look at comparative titles, and talk about what you want to get out of this experience.

❋ a defining experience

Working with someone else to help tell your life story is extremely gratifying. You will find empowerment, confidence, and a sense of wholeness in finding the words to share who you are

❋ your story, my work engine

I write your story and you help shape it through x2 feedback rounds. Then it’s yours to either keep for a future date or self-publish to share with family & friends

❋ a safe pair of hands

I’ve spent a career in journalism interviewing other people and learning how to tell their stories. My passion is connecting with people through stories. I’m so pumped to help!

"Telling your story is your most powerful radical act of resistance"
