As a child I entertained my family with puppet shows. While in grade school I enjoyed 4-H public speaking contests and in high school i was on the Dairy Judging Team and president of our Parliamentary Procedure team. Someyime in high school I realized I wanted to be a combination of Joan Embery-Marlin Perkins-Jane Goodall. I searched for a career which would utilize my science background and communication skills to produce informative and entertaining programs. The past few years I have trained under various voice over programs and worked with private coaches. I continue to fine tune my skills and enjoyed working on public service announcements and other projects.

Work experience as a community educator challenged public presentations about ticks, rats and mosquitoes, along with formal presentations and moderating local conferences. My side interest in holistic health as a massage therapist allowed me to work with groups in relaxation exercises with guided imagery scripts.
