I run the gamut from super sweet, virtuous and inspiring to accessible, resonant, grounded and downright passionate. I'm authentic, honest, transparent, personable, warm, soothing and gentle. And that's all before lunch!
But really, because I have so much experience talking to, nurturing and caring for other people, sharing moments of sheer joy (weddings, baby namings, bar mitzvahs) to supporting them through deep sorry (last rites, funerals, unveilings), I understand the human heart and the indomitable spirit and I know how to connect . . .I mean, REALLY connect.
And even with all those amazingly unique skills, I am also just like every other busy mom! I'm a very busy female entrepreneur and mother . . . or as I prefer, a "mompreneur". So, I understand the significance of communication and branding as it relates to the most powerful decision makers - MOMS!
This is why I love the nickname of being an "attractive shopper mom - everybody's best friend".
That's me and I hope you think I am the one for your voice over job, because I am here and ready!

I have more than 20+ years experience using my voice. I started as a singer of classical and liturgical music, musical theatre, pop, with chamber groups, full symphony orchestras... to solo in recording studios. I've sung all KINDS of gigs including jingles and even lent my voice to juvenile consumer products.
I have a truly unique, one of a kind background facilitating live events and leading congregations as I'm both a Cantor (like a Rabbi but I sing much better) and a non-denominational interfaith minister. I have even hypnotized people... did I mention I am also a certified past life regressionist?
A trained actor with experience on and off screen and air, I have worked in many areas, including as producer, so I have the unique background and perspective to allow me to deliver in ways that set me apart. And finally, as a vibrant "fempreneur" I am also an inspirational writer, speaker, host and spokesperson.
