I am an independent scholar and editorial consultant residing in Northern California. I hold an MA in philosophy from Northern Illinois University. I provide consulting services to businesses, individuals, and academics.  My work has appeared in Infinity Journal, The Early Republic and Antebellum America: An Encyclopedia of Social, Political, Cultural, and Economic History, In-Spire Journal of Law, Politics and Societies and Urban Mainstream Magazine. Many of my articles deal with productivity, time management, financial security, project management, political theory, successful living, charitable giving, and living a secure lifestyle.

I have served on various committees dedicated to bettering the quality of life of college students and graduate students.  Additionally, as a graduate assistant, I was dedicated to ensuring my students not only learn how to navigate the discipline of philosophy, but also learn strategic skills for navigating life successfully.  Because of this, I offer academic coaching services to those students wishing to improve their scholastic achievements.  Because of my ties to the university, I will never violate academic integrity rules.

I am the assistant editor and a writer for Equanimity Magazine, a magazine focused on balancing lifestyles and living life to its fullest. I recently interviewed Mark Victor Hansen, author of and Chicken Soup for the Soul, for the magazine.  This was an incredibly inspiring conversation.

I have written for Bright Hub, an internet website dedicated to enriching professionals and individuals alike in their quest for personal development, for two years, also editing the work of fellow authors on the website.  I have written over 400 articles, brochures, press releases, and grants on a wide range of subjects for a variety of clients.
