ABOUT

My Story

Inspiration strikes us all differently. For me, it’s been a lifelong fascination with history and the extraordinary people who shaped it.

As a teenager, I found my spark while interning at Franklin Roosevelt’s Little White House in Warm Springs, where I conducted research for my senior capstone project. That experience ignited a passion that’s guided my journey ever since.

Since then, I have worked at two prestigious presidential libraries, contributed to a nonprofit dedicated to Eleanor Roosevelt’s legacy, and published articles on figures like Loretta Lynn, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, Mary McLeod Bethune, and Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. I also contribute to PBS American Masters, where I share stories that connect history, culture, and the arts.

Alongside my historical work, I serve as Director of Strategic Development for FUNDINGO, collaborate with CMA Exam Academy, and have partnered with clients in fintech, real estate, leadership coaching, and AI. This diverse experience reflects my passion for storytelling in all forms — whether through history, business, or culture.

EDITING

I’ve edited for nonfiction authors and worked with leadership coaches to refine their courses for clarity and flow. Are you an entrepreneur or nonfiction author looking for an editor? Let’s connect — I’d be happy to share my portfolio.

RESEARCH

The key to being an astute historian — or an effective content partner — is mastering the art of research. Whether uncovering overlooked historical narratives or conducting sector-specific research, I bring depth, accuracy, and insight to every project.
