how I can help

Put simply, I turn complex ideas into stories people connect with. I also coach storytellers toward sustainable creative work, helping them deliver their best without burning out.

cultural Comms

When cultural content is too insular, it alienates audiences. When it’s oversimplified, it flattens the ideas that make it powerful. I help you strike the right balance—communicating complex ideas with clarity and depth.

  • Drawing on my two decades of experience working in the arts, I offer content writing and strategy for museums, arts nonprofits, and mission-driven teams.

    We’ll be great partners if:

    • Your team values collaboration and outside perspective.

    • You appreciate honest feedback delivered with kindness.

    • You want to tell truthful, meaningful stories that resonate with broad audiences.

    • You want your words to be as thoughtful as the work you do.

    • Articles

    • Wall labels

    • Research

    • Profiles/bios

    • AI copy cleanup

    • Blog posts

    • Newsletters

    • Annual reports

    • White papers

    • Grant narratives

    • In-house style guide

    • Ghostwriting

1:1 coaching

I’m a certified coach helping storytellers move past burnout, navigate career transitions, and build creative lives that don’t cost them their health.

  • Writers, journalists, filmmakers, artists, and anyone who sees themselves as a storyteller. I’m especially committed to supporting women of color.

    Working with me might be right for you if:

    • You’re ready to set goals and take action.

    • You want guidance, a sounding board, and kind accountability.

    • You don’t want a cookie-cutter formula, but space to get clear on what’s right for you.

    • You want a coach who really gets where you’re coming from.

  • I typically offer two options:

    • A one-time, 90-minute deep dive session

    • A custom package that includes biweekly coaching sessions and 24/5 text and email support

    Drop me a note to schedule a mini-coaching session.
