My Voice Experience
My 30+ in the broadcast/communications industry means that when you hire me you get more than a voice. I bring an energy, insight and intelligence that delivers added life to your project. My reads inspire cause for belief, are value-driven and optimistic. Effective communication is always my goal, so your message resonates with your audience.
I began my career with a BA in Communications from Gonzaga University, a Jesuit liberal arts college that demanded depth of critical thinking, which I bring to every project.
My work experience has given me tremendous opportunity for real life application of communication principles so that I can get to the "nut" of your needs quickly and effectively. Briefly I have been a television and promo producer and voice over talent, an affiliate voice for several tv stations, a national spokesperson for several companies and products that delivered measurable sales-driven and sales-measured results, an on-camera television host and spokesperson, a radio news director and music host in a major market who consistently tripled morning ratings, a writer and producer of multiple media presentations, a consultant for utilizing broadcast in public relations campaigns, a sales executive for Xerox corporation who consistently delivered over 400% of monthly quotas and "the voice" of hundreds of commercials, training presentations, program narrations and campaigns.
