My forthcoming sixth novel, Simon’s Last Stand, follows a group of teenagers on one final adventure before their magnetic friend Simon moves away.

Whether the story is funny, unsettling, or deeply personal, I write about outsiders searching for connection and the messy courage it takes to be understood.
I’m a collaborative ghostwriter who helps clients turn ideas, experiences, and expertise into clear, compelling stories. My process is built on careful listening, thoughtful conversation, and genuine partnership.
Rather than imposing my own voice, I work closely with each client to understand how they think, speak, and connect with their audience. From there, I help shape characters, structure, tone, and narrative into writing that feels polished, engaging, and unmistakably their own.
Whether I’m helping develop an early concept, strengthen an existing manuscript, or guide a book toward completion, my goal is always the same: to preserve the client’s vision while helping the story become the strongest version of itself.
Born in New York, I grew up in New Hyde Park, New York, and Tarzana, California. I had the great fortune to spend those years surrounded by friends, exploring our neighborhoods and sharing adventures that remain an ongoing source of inspiration for my writing. Beyond the page, I’m a three-time Emmy Award-winning video producer with experience creating corporate films, personal biographies, and commissioned legacy videos celebrating important lives and milestones.
