I’ve built my career on perseverance, adaptability, and the drive to carve out my own path in the publishing and media industries. I began my journey as a publicist back in 2007, initially motivated by my experience working on a TV series where I realized my publicist wasn’t delivering the results I knew were possible. Instead of waiting for change, I took matters into my own hands, launching my own PR agency. Over the years, I’ve worked with a diverse range of clients, from bestselling authors to high-profile figures, including Val Kilmer, who has been a mentor to me in countless ways. His guidance, along with the entrepreneurial spirit instilled by my father, has shaped my career and my commitment to helping others tell their stories. My transition into writing, ghostwriting, and book coaching followed a similar path of necessity and determination. I saw so many aspiring authors and entrepreneurs struggling to get their ideas onto the page, often feeling stuck or overwhelmed by the process. Witnessing this gap, I stepped in to guide them through every step of their writing journey. With a strong background in PR, branding, and entertainment, I bring a unique approach to storytelling that ensures each project resonates with its intended audience. Whether I’m crafting business books, self-help guides, thrillers, romances, or children's stories, I strive to honor the voice and vision of every client I work with. The journey hasn’t been without its challenges. Without a formal writing mentor, I’ve had to navigate the complexities of publishing and media through the “school of hard knocks,” relying on resilience and resourcefulness to hone my craft and grow my network. My experiences have taught me that success in writing and publishing isn’t just about talent—it’s about having the right guidance, strategies, and support. As a writer, ghostwriter, and book coach, I’m passionate about empowering others to share their stories, amplify their brands, and achieve their creative dreams.
