I was born and raised in Orange County, California. At the age of seven, I began my acting career as the wicked witch in a school production of "The Wizard of Oz." I was originally cast as Dorothy but opted to play the wicked witch role instead because I wanted to do the voice. While in high school, I started to perform in community theatre and Civic Light Opera houses. I joined The Young Americans Song and Dance Company and did a brief tour before heading off to UCLA School of Theatre, Film and Television where I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree. While in Los Angeles, I performed with The Los Angeles Music Center Education Division, Tim Robbin's The Actors' Gang, Buffalo Knights Theatre Company and Will & Company Shakespeare Troupe. In 1995, I started studying voice over at kalmenson & kalmenson, The Voicecaster and with Bob Bergen in Los Angeles. I began looping shortly thereafter and have appeared in the following fan favorites: Ghost in the Shell, Akira, Duel Masters, Code Geass and Bleach. I have over 100 anime and game credits. Game credits include Xenosaga, Omega Boost, Wild Arms, Soulcaliber and Blazblue among others. I have a home studio as well as access to many professional studios. I use an audio-technica microphone.
