I’m a writing coach and editor who helps researchers, clinicians, and technical professionals strengthen their writing and build a more sustainable process.

In more than 20 years of working with even the most prolific, seasoned writers, I can testify that knowing a lot about your subject doesn’t automatically mean writing about it comes easy. For most people, the more you know (and the more you care), the more painful the writing process tends to be. 

That’s where I come in. You’re the expert on your subject. My expertise is knowing how to balance curiosity with distance: getting deep into your ideas while providing an outside perspective.

My background includes teaching writing, training and supervising writing consultants, and thousands of hours working one-on-one with writers across disciplines. Much of my work now is helping researchers, scientists, medical professionals, and other experts bring complex projects together: the planning, the thinking, the writing—and all the decisions in between.

Alongside my independent practice, I serve as Clinical Content Writer and Editor at the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN), where I lead major scientific book projects and publication initiatives. I was Managing Editor of Nutrition in Clinical Practice and two bestselling core curriculum books, and I currently support authors on four books covering topics from compounding safety to nutrition support for transplant patients.

I’ve called Durham, North Carolina home since 2009, after chapters in San Diego, the Bay Area, Chicago, and New York. I live here with my husband and our four big dogs, two of whom are with us in spirit. In my personal writing, I often explore grief, care beyond pronatalism, and the human and animal bond. People who know me best will tell you I have a research article to cite for every conversation.
