san francisco-based freelance writer
My journalism is driven by truth-telling and a deep commitment to amplifying the voices of those who are marginalized or disempowered. With a natural ability to connect and put people at ease, I am adept at building trust with my sources. I understand well the pitfalls of bringing difficult stories to light, and I aim to create a safe space where my subjects feel their stories are respected, valued, and told with integrity.
Specializations
Life Reviews
A life review is a structured process for reflecting on one’s past. As a journalist, I’m skilled at uncovering the extraordinary details that define ordinary people, with an editorial eye for the bigger picture. I’ll guide you through the creative process and synthesize your experiences into a beautifully crafted narrative that captures the real you.
Obituaries
When someone you love dies, it can feel like there’s no way to memorialize them in a way that captures everything they meant to you. If you are looking for an obituary with heart and color, something that goes beyond the fundamentals, I can work with you with compassion and sensitivity to create a tribute that honors your loved one’s true essence.
