My storytelling began before I could write — possibly before I could walk. My grandmother used to call me chiacchierone, Italian for “one who talks a lot.” She meant it lovingly (I think).

Since then, I’ve turned that relentless need to communicate into a lifelong pursuit of stories, ones that entertain, illuminate, and hold up a mirror. I’m an editor by trade and at heart, a communications strategist by profession, and a writer by love and compulsion.

I started my career in publishing, then detoured into corporate marketing, and now serve as a voice for the autism and developmental disabilities community. At the core of all my work, whether in a boardroom, on a page, or across a table, is this belief: communication is the thread that binds us all. I may not be good at everything, but I can communicate.

My debut novel, Every Trumpet Blows for You, is currently seeking representation. It’s a satirical, voice-driven story that exposes the cult-like underbelly of corporate culture and the very human cost of power. Inspired in part by Macbeth and real-life leadership scandals, the book explores how ambition, manipulation, and fear still follow patterns we’ve been writing about for over 400 years. That’s what great literature does — it echoes. And if we listen, we just might learn from it.

When I’m not writing or editing, you can usually find me in a bookstore (for hours), watching Forensic Files, or advocating for people with autism and developmental disabilities — a cause close to both my head and heart.

I live on Long Island in New York with my family and a notebook never too far away.
