A strong grasp and personal interest in how our subconscious drives behavior informs my work creating and operationalizing emotionally resonant brand voices. You can learn more about my training and experience here.

I also work/volunteer as a narrative consultant for film, NLP practitioner and writing mentor. Creatively, I practice method writing, and am working on my first book.
