Pleased to meet you!

Equal parts seasoned entrepreneur, photographer, writer and alchemist, whatever I do, I do with passion and heart. 

From my role as an Australian Government appointed Business Advisor at the tender age of 25, to my VP & Director roles in Sydney, San Francisco, New York City and Maine, to co-founding a start up and growing it to a profitable global enterprise, to becoming a published photographer and storyteller, and treading the boards delivering seminars and workshops all around the world; I bring an equal dose of left and right brain thinking, high energy, experience and complete commitment to any project I undertake. 

Finding and implementing creative solutions to your biggest business challenges really is my happy place. Cheesy, but true.

With bases in mid-coast Maine and CT, servicing New England and the Greater New York area, I'm available for contract or part-time roles, big and small, in the areas of content, marketing, sales, creative, events, business improvement, team training and executive coaching.

Please get in touch and let's see how I can add value to your next project.
