My Training

I was professionally trained at Maximus Media, a state-of-the art Studio in Fresno California. While working at the studio, I also learned copywriting and worked on various commercial projects from concept to completion.

My Studio Equipment

I have a MacBook and a special voice-over microphone. I can record my voice quickly and download to an Mp3 file for easy email.

I also have access to a studio, (a 15 minute drive) with professional sound equipment and an ISDN line with the ability to deliver product via FTP.

More information to follow.

Additional Skills

I have worked as a Production Assistant and 2nd camera operator, so I am also familiar with what goes on, on the "other" side of the microphone. I believe this has given me an edge in understanding what clients need with a very brief description and little direction.

I write poetry for a creative outlet and I love to sing. I am learning to play the ukulele. I have also been a children's storyteller for Barnes & Nobles.

I love listening to the spoken word, whether it be poetry, audio books, or storytelling.

Plain and simple, I love the spoken word.
