I have worked as a lead voice in several radio dramas for CBC and ABC radio in Canada and Australia. I have done voices for animation, ads, corporate and documentary narration and worked on radio as a host on several radio programs for CKUT (Montreal) and CBC's Daybreak. I am also a published poet and my poetry has won the "Battle of the Bards" in Harbourfront, Toronto for poetry reading. I am good at direct, authentic voices and also flirty, upbeat, fun voices.
