Writer. Memoirist. Speaker.

Bringing lived stories to the stage.

With over a decade in the public eye, countless appearances on stage, traditional media, print, and podcasts, I have built a deep understanding of just how powerful our voice can be.

I speak honestly, I speak with fervour, and I try to speak with raw emotion.
