I’m a self-help author who writes stories about characters in need of self-help.

I’m Mandi and the first thing you should know about me is I’m an expert in mistakes.

Professionally, I help companies avoid or fix them and personally, I write stories about characters who make, embrace and learn from them.

I currently work as a publicist for a global public relations agency and it’s my 15+ years of experience in PR that led me to write my first book, So, You F*cked Up: A Pep Talk for When You’ve Made a Mistake. I also speak around the country about the power of embracing mistakes, especially for young professionals, and the importance of cultivating workplaces where employees are empowered to make and move on from them.

When I’m not helping clients prevent or navigate f*ck ups, I’m a novelist and screenwriter penning snarky tales about ambitious women trying to balance love with their demanding careers.
