My Voice Experience

I have worked in radio for over 3 years, prior to that my career involved lots of public speaking. I have a very natural sound and I think people can hear that I'm having fun (because I am). I've hosted a morning show in a medium sized marked, hosted a talk show, and voiced commercials, promos and PSAs. Many people have commented on my interviewing skills.

My Training

I've got a B.A. but my radio training in has really been on the job, learned it all from the ground up. Over the course of my previous career I took advantage of seminars and workshops on presentation and public speaking.
