I am a writer and a writer’s coach. As a Master Certified Coach through the International Coach Federation, I work one-on-one and in facilitated groups with writers and other creatives who want help identifying and articulating their creative work, and support and accountability to see it through to completion. Prior to becoming a coach, I was co-owner/chief creative officer of a global integrated marketing agency. In 2018, I earned an MS degree in forensic psychology because, well, what crime writer doesn’t want to better understand the criminal mind? Now, I am pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing from UC Riverside (winter, 2026). I live in Palm Springs, CA where, perhaps surprisingly, bad things happen even when the sun is shining.
