Thought Leadership

Ghostwriting thought leadership that resonates with depth, clarity, and purpose is both a craft and a passion. Often it’s difficult to get that all out of your head and into digestible content. My commitment to continual growth, with years of personal and professional development, an open mind and a wealth of insight ensure that I can refine your bold concepts or simplify complex ideas. The focus is always on helping leaders communicate what matters most—powerfully, authentically, and in a way that connects with the audiences who need it most.

Planning & Coaching

Partnering with coaches and creators, I bring powerful philosophies, transformative tools, and breakthrough ideas to life. With a deep appreciation for personal growth—my own journey included—I understand the nuance behind your work and how to translate it into clear, compelling content that connects. Whether it's a book, blog, workbook, or thought piece, I help articulate your message, clarify your vision, and shape content that reflects the heart of your coaching practice. From planning tools to storytelling, every piece is designed to connect with your audience, inspire change, and empower growth.

Memoirs

There’s something incredibly special about collaborating on memoirs—bringing unique life stories to the page with authenticity and care. Each one is a deeply personal journey, and it's a true privilege to help shape those narratives with sensitivity and respect. The goal is always to capture not just the facts, but the voice, heart, and soul behind them. Every story deserves to be told in a way that honors the person living it, and that process is both a joy and a meaningful responsibility which I take seriously.

Historical Research

Specializing in ghostwriting for historical projects, the focus is on preserving family legacies, documenting real-life accounts, and bringing lesser-known stories to light. It is important to portray the events as accurately as possible. With a strong research background and a deep respect for accuracy, my goal is always to weave facts and narrative into compelling, human-centered stories. Whether it’s organizing scattered materials, uncovering key context, or shaping memories into a captivating manuscript, I approach every project with care and a commitment to credibility.

Consulting

I offer consulting for writers crafting nonfiction, self-help, or memoir projects—especially those just starting out. If you’re unsure about tone, structure, or how to shape your message into something meaningful, I’m here to help. With a collaborative, supportive approach, I’ll guide you through the process—bringing clarity, confidence, and cohesion to your work so your story or insight truly resonates with readers.

About Me

I’m a ghostwriter—but I’m also a lifelong observer, deep thinker, and bridge-builder.

I’ve worked in luxury hospitality, high end skin care and cosmetics, and resort and long term property management, been a barista and bartender, managed cafés and not for profit thrift stores, done makeup for film sets and destination weddings, and spent two decades in the United States blending cultures, accents, and expectations with my Kiwi roots. I’ve been the marketing whisperer behind the scenes. An author. A researcher. A quiet presence who knows how to meet people exactly where they are.

That range is my superpower.
It allows me to slot into any environment, understand any mindset, and write convincingly in voices that aren’t my own—but become mine to carry. My job is to get inside your ideas, your tone, and your goals—and build something you’re proud to put your name on.
