My Voice Experience

I have been an actor on stage, TV, commercials, and film in Los Angeles and San Diego for the past 15 years. On television I have appeared on "ER", "Strong Medicine" and "Cover Me"; opposite Tom Sizemore and Stephen Baldwin in the independent feature film "The Genius Club", as well as several films that have toured the festival circuit the world over. I have also acted in commercials for GE Financial, Zocor, DePuy Orthopedics, and the U.S. Military, to name a few.

Because of my extensive experience and the wide variety of characters I've played - everything from a Mother Superior Nun to high powered executives to moms, scientists, and the quirky friends - I have a wide vocal range and natural ability to fit into many vocal categories.
