Hello! I'm an executive ghostwriter, Harvard Business Review-published author, and ICF-certified executive coach who utilizes a painless, consultative approach to both coaching and writing. As a writer, I can tailor to any written voice or topic and love the process of making your ideas clear and engaging. As a coach, I never fear the raw parts of life and understand how career, family life, and our understanding of ourselves all intermesh. My writing creds: My ghostwritten work has been published in: - Rolling Stone - Newsweek - Fast Company - Entrepreneur My bylined work has been published in: - Harvard Business Review - Entrepreneur - SWAAY I formerly led a team of 30 executive ghostwriters helping them capture the voices of high-level executives across industries. I help others to write thought leadership content, articles, keynote speeches, and full-length books. Sometimes I'm your writing coach, sometimes I'm your editor, and sometimes I ghostwrite your entire project for you -- it all depends on what you're looking for.
