Emmy-nominated television personality and host of The Silence Between Hello, an audio memoir that reached 27,000 downloads in its first week. Using 30+ minutes of my late mother's preserved voicemails, the podcast explores how love transcends even the deepest ideological divides. It is a story that clearly resonates with audiences hungry for authentic family narratives.

I've spent over a decade in storytelling and media production. I co-founded Ink Slingers podcast, where I interviewed 40+ bestselling memoirists and biographers. I co-founded and edited LIV Literary Journal, and currently produce the BIO Podcast for the Biographers International Organization. With an MA in Biography & Memoir, I wrote my thesis on my family's Scandinavian immigration story and how they "became white" in early 1900s America. As a trained oral historian, I've collected dozens of interviews from women who left Laestadianism. This work forms the basis of a collective memoir I'm currently writing.

My expertise spans both storytelling and women's health. As a personal trainer for 20+ years, I've built a successful practice serving celebrity and high-profile clientele, specializing in maternal health and pre/postnatal fitness.

What drives my work: Growing up in a fundamentalist religious sect, I learned early that the most powerful stories often live in the spaces between what we're allowed to say and what we actually feel. My father, an epic storyteller despite his speech impediment, taught me that every person has a fascinating story worth telling.

Whether through podcasting, writing, or wellness coaching, I create spaces where people's most authentic stories can be heard and honored.
