Writing has been central to my life since childhood, beginning with poetry, articles, and early attempts at family memoir. My first published piece was a short news story about an Arbor Day tree planting at my grammar school.

I began my career in public relations at the San Francisco Art Institute, then joined International Data Group, publisher of PC World and InfoWorld. At PC World, I worked closely with senior editorial, circulation, and advertising leaders, helping build the magazine’s public presence and writing respected profiles of technology marketing executives.

During the dot-com boom, I founded and ran an independent communications firm, representing companies including Softbank, Palm Computing, Pointcast, and Blue Coat, as well as healthcare leaders Blue Shield of California and Kaiser Permanente.

Later, at the Shift Network as a lead marketing strategist and writer, I helped co-design trainings and manage digital marketing programs for wellness and spirituality leaders and authors such as Michael Beckwith, Anodea Judith, Anita Moorjani, and Mirabai Starr.

I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Eastern Kentucky University’s Bluegrass Writers Studio and a BA in French from San Francisco State University.

My work has appeared in Calyx, Consequence, Creative Dreamers, Nostos, The Healing Muse, and Unbroken. My first novel, The Love We All Wait For, won Best Novel at the East of Eden Writers Conference. An audiobook edition, re-titled Hearts Crazier Than Mine, will be released in late Spring 2026. I’m currently working on my second novel nd share a lair in San Rafael, California with my best friend, a hopelessly sweet Labrador Retriever named Jasper.
