I’m a learn-it-all who believes that writing is one of the best ways to make sense of life and create joy.
Over the past five years, I’ve published weekly for my readers, exploring transitions as I traveled from Chicago to Hawaii, Southeast Asia, the Netherlands, and beyond. My interests have led me to experiment with different ways of living life, from sailing across Lake Huron to sailing the swell in Hawaii to teaching English in Thailand and living as a creative in the Netherlands.
I write to express my creative and adventurous spirit, embracing uncertainty, and poems on passion for people.
I’ve self-published an Amazon best-selling memoir, Letters to My Life, and I love supporting others go from intermittent journals to sharing their words bravely with the world and designing a life they love full of creative projects that inspire.
When I’m not writing or coaching, you can find me journaling in cafés, swimming, or adding new ideas to my “life resume.”
If you believe writing can be a playful adventure — and not just another to-do — we’ll get along well.
