Because our words shape our world.
You work for good. But are your words working for you?
A good writer and editor – who also works for the common good – can answer these questions. I have experience in the art and science of storytelling, and I support systemic change for social justice and a sustainable planet. I know our words shape our world, and I’m eager to help you find the right ones.

She made our work better."

and one of the best journalists I have ever worked with.
