Book Projects, Initiatives and Services for Personal Transformation

A career writer and educator, I am passionate about the power of words, language, storytelling and books to create cultural connection, advance mindfulness, life-long learning, self-empowerment and personal transformation.

In addition to my own writing projects, I offer writing, editing and creativity coaching. The retreat experiences I host combine the power of place, cultural exploration and writing for enhanced fearless creativity and personal development.

CONTACT ME if you'd like personal creativity coaching, to learn about upcoming retreat experiences in Zihuatanejo, or to invite me to be part of your planned retreat or workshop.

My Creative Path

A Writer's Purpose

As a passionate writer residing in Zihuatanejo, I have dedicated my life to sharing the stories of incredible children while advocating for their education and well-being. 'The Zihua Diaries' captures moments of joy and resilience through my fundraising journey and commitment to making a difference. I seek to connect with readers, literary agents, and producers who resonate with this heartfelt mission.
