Your life holds stories that deserve to be remembered, understood and passed on. I help you shape those stories into a deeply personal, professionally written book—one that captures not just what happened, but what it meant.
Work with me to create a lasting legacy.
I am a professional biographer and life story writer with more than 30 years’ experience across writing, marketing and narrative practice. I work with individuals, families and professionals to transform lived experience into beautifully crafted, enduring books.
My work sits at the intersection of literary skill and deep listening. I don’t simply document what happened—I help you uncover what it meant, shaping your experiences into a coherent, compelling narrative that feels true to who you are.
Over the course of my career, I have written across industries and contexts, from corporate and commercial work to deeply personal life stories. This breadth gives me a rare combination: the ability to structure and deliver a professional, publishable manuscript, alongside the sensitivity required to hold complex, emotional material with care.
I am an accredited member of Life Stories Australia and have contributed to a number of published works. Clients come to me not only for my writing, but for my capacity to listen well, ask the right questions, and bring clarity to stories that can feel overwhelming or hard to articulate.
This is thoughtful, collaborative work. It requires trust, time and care—and the result is something lasting: a story that can be read, shared and held onto for generations.

My experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist makes me unique in the story telling space. This combined with my writing abilities helps me meet you where you are at, supports truth telling and allows me to support you in the tricky parts.
It’s a privilege to document another’s life story. Every story needs to be told – not only for publication but also to record and honour a life. Personal story telling can honour ‘whole of life’ stories or bring form to significant life events such as birth stories, eulogies, parenthood, milestones and rites of passage – from short articles to full length tomes.
