NYT Bestselling Ghostwriter | Researcher | Public Speaker | Psychologist

With a PhD in Educational Psychology, I transitioned to ghostwriting in 2022. Since then, I’ve wrapped four titles - the first an Amazon bestseller, the second a NYT bestseller, and two awaiting launch. My clients have ranged from entrepreneurs and social media influencers to an advisor of US presidents and the president of a major university, in the genres of memoir, self-help, higher education, and religion/politics.

I’m a naturally good listener, a skill I refined as a professional counselor. I’m also a bloodhound when it comes to tracking down research that ensures readers will view you as a trustworthy expert whose advice is worth heeding. I am passionate about making the complex simple and the boring exciting, translating scientific insights into actionable advice for everyday life.

Have an idea? Whether it's crafting your book, enriching your work through in-depth research, or refining your message with precise editing, I can help bring your vision to life.

I hold myself to exacting standards to serve my clients well. I consider it a great privilege to advance cool ideas and noble causes, and I’d love to leverage my skills to make you the star of my next success story.
