Hi there! I'm a professional voice actor and audiobook narrator. I believe we are collectively craving stories that inspire kindness and stimulate our imagination as the world finds a new normal. After many years as an actor, educator, and working for cultural nonprofits in two cities, the spark that kept me going was connecting with audiences and artists through quality performances, encouraging discoveries and amazing potential in my students, and finding the magic in the stories I tell. Every story has a heart and soul, and it’s my job to honor it.
Between stepping in front of a camera to stepping behind a mic, I believe the best stories are the ones that inspire us and remind us of the magic in ordinary life that we so often forget to notice.
