Opleiding
I first learned to perform loudly and clearly by being that theatre kid at school. A skill that helped enormously during my years teaching fitness classes at a local gym. I have been consistently attending workshops since I made the leap in VO and have never stopped perfecting my craft. I have trained with Hélène LaRousse and TotalCasting in Montreal, and I have attended workshops as well as been coached personally by Kim Handysides, and Elley-Ray Hennessey. I have also been coached in French by performance and diction coach Luc St-Denis.
I have rounded out my training with improv classes, online workshops, and getting feedback from coaches online and in-person at VO industry conventions. Continuous education is important to me, and I've never stopped learning.
Ervaring
I am proud to have worked for Air Canada Vacations, Decathlon, General Mills, Circle K, BMO, CIBC, The Ontario Science Centre, Rogers, Desjardins, and many more!
