Hi there, you’ve caught me when I’m going through a transition…

Join me for a sneak peak at my new webpage and for storytelling and SEO copywriting for ethical and sustainable brands.

Who am I?

A few things you should know... and yes, some are a bit embarrassing:

I live in rural France. In my neighborhood, sheep outnumber people. Traffic jams here? Just me stuck behind a herd of sheep.

I am a permaculture nerd…and my garden reflects that.

I’ve got a raucous, bilingual family of four.

I started teaching 15 years ago in Silicon Valley as an English and French teacher. Little did I know I'd end up in France, running my own business.

Before teaching, I had another life. I wrote:

• Press releases for a non-profit dance company

• Letters for a US Senator (signed with one of those funky mechanical pens)

• Web copy for a health association

I've kept a journal every morning for nearly 20 years. Fun fact: I won the "Black Ribbon Award for Worst Handwriting" from a college professor. Thanks for that.

I read slowly, which gave me the patience to love literature—enough to tackle books in English, French, and Spanish.

My favorite high school hangout was the Bookworm Bookshop in Upland, CA. I even met Ray Bradbury there. He told me a writer must never give up. I still have my signed copy of Switch on the Night.

Oh, and I got kicked out of a family reading competition by my own mother—apparently, one book equals one dollar was too much of a motivator for me. "Go outside!" she’d say. Southern California just couldn’t compete with Narnia.

Still reading this? I think it’s time you chime in. Get in touch.
