With more than 20 years of stage experience performing in regional theaters across the country, I have an ability to inhabit characters and bring life and truth to text. These experiences have helped me transition successfully into commercial, gaming, dubbing, and narrative voice over work. My voice can be equally friendly, youthful and inviting or wise, commanding, and mischievous. I’m a collaborator who loves to work with clients to achieve their goals in a timely and professional manner.
I’m a 2023 Penguin Random House Audio Narrator Mentorship Program mentee and a proud recipient of a 2021 Source Elements Diversity Scholarship. Read more and listen to a selected sample of my work below.
