I am curious by nature. I love a good story, an interesting conversation, and discovering places I didn't know existed. I'm happiest when I'm learning something new, meeting people who see the world differently, or finding a little adventure in an otherwise ordinary day.

I live in New York's Hudson Valley, where you'll often find me spending time on the water, exploring a new trail, or hanging out with Goose, my rescued dog, who is convinced the world revolves around him. I love traveling, cooking for friends, getting lost in a good book, and finding those wonderfully unexpected places that make life interesting. I also believe a sense of humor makes just about everything better.

That curiosity carries into my work. I've always been fascinated by people—what motivates them, what brings them together, and what makes them care enough to take action. It's probably why I started my career as a writer and why, more than two decades later, I still love connecting ideas, people, and possibilities.

Where it All Started

Managing Editor of Satya Magazine, I interviewed leading voices in social justice, human rights, and animal advocacy. That experience shaped something I still believe today. The most effective communication starts with understanding people, what matters to them, and what inspires them to act.

Where I've Been
