An Expert in Funny Business
I’m a freelance writer and comedy consultant. If you’re struggling to inject some humour and levity into your content or culture, then I’m your gal.
My experience runs the breadth of the startup world, from customer support to product to marketing. And when it comes to comedy, I’ve done standup, improv and theatre.
I’ve spent 15+ years in tech using humor to better connect with others. Let me show you how a little laughter can go a long way.

Ways I can help you:
I can write original content for you that captures a comedic and professional tone.
I can facilitate workshops that help your teams to incorporate humour into their dynamics and day-to-day.
I can punch up presentations, decks and make anything (or anyone) funnier.
Studies show the positive influence humour has on a range of desirable organisational outcomes, such as group cohesiveness (Holmes and Marra, 2006), team performance (Mao et al., 2017), employee resilience and coping (Vetter and Gockel, 2016), and leadership effectiveness (Mesmer-Magnus et al., 2012). Gotta love science.
Your business is no laughing matter.
But maybe it should be?
What I do…
includes published writing, facilitating workshops, creative consulting and humorous speaking of all sorts.
Oh how I love a whiteboard!
Blame it on my past as a teacher but I enjoy writing, drawing and brainstorming on the delightful surface.
You can pry the dry erase markers out of my cold, dead hands. Let’s brainstorm together!
