Summary

I’m a Harvard-educated ghostwriter, author, and screenwriter who helps people transform complex ideas and lived experience into beautifully structured, emotionally resonant writing––whether books, blogs, or opinion pieces. With decades of cinematic storytelling experience, I bring a rare blend of narrative depth, clarity, and creative direction to every project.
