Having hailed from Tulsa, Oklahoma, I have a background in radio, where I worked as a promotions manager for WKY Radio in Oklahoma City . I also have a news background, having worked as an associate producer of news for KJRH-TV2 in Tulsa.

I have appeared in several independent films and television commercials. And, I've produced and hosted my very own cable television program. I have a background in Theatre as well. And, was a regular cast member for nearly 10 years in a local melodrama entitled: THE DRUNKARD in my hometown of Tulsa.

I've been nicknamed "the girl with the smile in her voice" and can certainly add a little spice to your voiceover needs!

My Training

I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of Tulsa.

While in school, I studied journalism, speech, creative writing, voice and diction and 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. I later went on to produce and host a weekly news program entitled OKLAHOMA THIS WEEK. During my 5 years at WKY I voiced many promos and commercials for the station and even peformed "live" cut-ins during promotional remotes with our station D.J.'s!

For the past 11 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 12 year old son.

I also believe... you must "never" stop learning!

Additional Skills

In addition to becoming an announcer, I have had vast experience in fundraising for television, producing news, writing creative copy, and performing various Public Relations and Promotions duties.

I have sat on numerous not-for-profit boards and committees. Some of which include: THE ALS SOCIETY of ONTARIO, THE HEART & STROKE FOUNDATION, UNITED WAY PUBLIC INFORMATION COMMITTEE, THE AMERICAN RED CROSS PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE. I have served as the second vice president of the Women's Advertising club of Toronto and, most recently, have been involved as the Sponsorship Manager of the newly formed CANADIAN CLUB for YORK REGION.

In each of those positions, I was chosen to be a representative and spokesperson for the organizations.

In addition, my Husband and I own and operate an Art Gallery in Bayfield, Ontario, where I am the manager during the Summer Months.
