While in school, I studied journalism, speech, creative writing, voice and diction, photography, television and radio broadcasting. While attending T.U., I qualified for an internship at KTEW Television (now, KJRH-TV/NBC Affiliate) where I worked as a production assistant. Upon graduation from University, I was hired to work full-time in the newsroom and worked my way up to Associate Producer of the 5:30 and 10:00 p.m. newscasts. During my tenure, I learned the "ins&outs" of broadcasting including the art of using my voice. This is where I got my start! I then went on to work in Country radio. WKY Radio in Oklahoma City as the Promotions Manager. There, I wrote, produced and "voiced" a weekly entertainment update.

For the past 15 years, I've continued to work in the media freelancing as a 'voiceover' talent in Toronto. The most important job to date... is that of Mother to my 15 year old son. I also believe... you must "never" stop learning!
