Recently narrated travelogues for Discovery Channel. Voice over spots for Seattle Film Festival, have on-air spots daily on KUOW and KUOW2 radio in Seattle. I am a quick study, able to give a half-dozen variations on a theme. Confident in front of a mic without wasting valuable studio time.

Performed in a variety of acting companies in LA - helped found a small public radio station in Telluride, CO - performed for years in professional theatre company based in Telluride, working with students on all age levels using theatre as a way to help them express themselves. Studied and performed Improv with several groups throughout Colorado - Studied voice over and public speaking in variety of college course and private classes. Have recorded voiceovers heard on various radio stations in California, Colorado and Washington.

Additional Skills

I am an avid reader and writer - study yoga and have (and this CAN be verified....) an exceptional sense of the absurd and silly....my sense of humor and ability to 'play well with others' has kept me out of (most) trouble and creatively employed. I have lived many years in the NW and know the region well...this helps with the wide variety of difficult-to-pronounce names. I have been a trainer, organizer and employee of a variety of film festivals including FILMEX in Los Angeles, Telluride Film Festival and Seattle International Film Festival and have a love of film....especially the 'oldies'
