About Me
I am a Nonfiction book writing coach and also serve as Chief Operating Officer at Victorious You Press. Victorious You Press is a boutique publishing service company concentrating on nonfiction publishing. As of this date, we have published over 70 books that have all become best-sellers.
I am a two-time Best-selling author, International Best-selling author, and certified Creativity Coach.
I have extensive experience in senior leadership roles in restaurants and hospitality and served as the Food and Beverage Director for a nationwide events company. My years of service in hospitality and events not only instilled a love for helping and caring for others, but a solid eye for detail. I served as the general manager for several boutique hotels in Portland, Maine, and as the food and beverage director for a seaside resort in midcoastal Maine. I have planned and delivered more weddings than I can count. As food and beverage manager for a nationwide events company, I oversaw events for companies like Nissan, Hyundai, Boeing, and the Football Hall of Fame.
I have a lot of great stories about my event days, but my favorite job is as a book-writing coach. I find delight in assisting new and almost new authors on their writing journey. My blend of writing and publishing coaching will take an author from book idea to submission for publication. My goal is to support authors in a way that allows them the freedom to dig deeper into their writing and uncover the very essence of their story.
Aside from my work with clients and VYP, I love being Noni to my granddaughter. I live in Coastal New Hampshire with my daughter, son-in-law, granddaughter, and two chihuahuas.
