My Writing Projects

From legal writing to holiday rom coms and women's fiction, my writing projects highlight my many interests and passions.

01

Upmarket Women's Fiction Novel

I am currently participating in a small group writing mentorship program with New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Julie Cantrell. As part of the small group, I am writing an upmarket women's fiction novel that highlights the impact of family secrets and explores the definition of family.

Holiday Rom Com Script

I completed my first holiday rom com script in November of 2023 with the help of the fantastic instructors and mentors at Story Summit. I'm currently pitching the script to producers to find the right person to bring this project to life while working on new scripts. If you're a producer and would like me to email you the one page for the script, please contact me.

ICM Fellows Paper 

In July 2024, I graduated as a member of the 53rd Institute of Court Management's Fellows Class. As part of the Fellows program, I spent approximately sixteen months researching the issue of employee engagement and the impact of coaching. My completed paper, "Climb On: The Case for Coaching Court Employees," is available online as part of the National Center for State Courts' Library. I also summarized my findings for an article in NACM's online magazine, The Court Manager.

Guest Columnist
Dowagiac Daily News

I wrote several articles as a guest columnist for the Dowagiac Daily News to break down legal terms and issues in child support, custody, and parenting time cases. The articles are available in PDF form on the Cass County Friend of the Court's Website. If you have a child support, custody, or parenting time issue that you're interested in having explained in plain English for a newspaper or magazine article, I'd love to help!
