Helping you dig deep, find your center and express yourself.

Use your creative power,
live the life you deserve

I love telling stories

Storytelling is at the heart of all that I do. I believe in the transformational power of creative expression and personal truth.

My professional career began in TV journalism, where for many years I wrote stories about other people—many who had no clue how extraordinary they were.

I worked as a writer, producer, reporter and eventually main anchor across the US in medium and major markets, where I won a couple of Emmy awards.

When I moved to New Zealand, I transferred these skills and reinvented, to become a mentor and award-winning speaker. More storytelling, in new ways. I founded a communications company and co-created the POP Process® to help people change the stories they tell about themselves.

Then I started started to dig deeper and write my own story. I moved back to the US, finished a Master of Creative Writing I’d started in New Zealand and began writing a memoir. I’m currently I’m working on that project, an autofiction novel, essays and poetry. Stay tuned for more…

Write Your Story

Presenting your story—in front of podiums, microphones and cameras—is another skill you need to master in order to perform professionally in today’s world. I can share secrets from my TV News career to help you present comfortably and confidently.
