“The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say.

MY STORY
My creative process.
Writing is part of my DNA.
An insatiable curiosity drives me.
My joy is sharing stories of the world, its people, and cultures—bringing to life the unheard voices I find along the way.
Giving voice to things that matter, raising awareness, and expanding perspectives is what lights my fire and is the heart and soul of who I am and what I do.
🎬 FROM ENTERTAINMENT PR TO STRATEGIC STORYTELLING
I spent 20 years in entertainment PR and marketing, creating and leading national marketing and communications campaigns for independent film distributors, TV networks, film festivals, record labels, artists, and filmmakers.
Career highlights include co-founding and managing Kahn & Jacobs, one of NYC’s leading entertainment PR and marketing agencies for seven years. I was honored to be named one of The Hollywood Reporter’s 26 “Power Players” of the New York Film Industry.
Some of the incredible films I helped launch include: Sling Blade, Kiss of the Spider Woman, The Trip to Bountiful, Dirty Dancing, Sid and Nancy, Paris is Burning, Brother's Keeper, She’s Gotta Have It, Down by Law, True Stories, Brother’s Keeper, and Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills.
As Vice President, Worldwide Publicity at RCA Victor Group (BMG), and later at Sony Classical. I led campaigns for artists such as Yo-Yo Ma, The Three Tenors, Joshua Bell, Joe Jackson, Etta James, Ziggy Marley, Cesaria Evora, and Rachael Yamagata.
🌍 TRAVEL, CULTURE & CREATIVE WORK ABROAD

Haiti: Consultant to the Ministries of Tourism and the Environment; brokered private sector commodities deals
Angola: Produced a multimedia awareness campaign spotlighting Kuduro music and dance, with experiential events in Paris, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Luanda, NYC, and Washington, D.C. To see more about this work click here.

🧘♀️ WELLNESS, MOVEMENT & ROOTS
My parents founded the original Earth Shoe company in 1970, which immersed me in holistic healing modalities from a young age, and remains a large part of my life.
Today, I’m a certified Kundalini yoga teacher, Pilates teacher, and Shiatsu massage therapist.
And when I’m not writing or working with clients?
You’ll find me salsa dancing—my therapy, my passion, and pure joy.
Bound Lotus meditation.
Salsa dancing… my happy place.
