**14 YEARS AS A TELEVISION SPORTS ANCHOR**
I have fifteen years of on-air television experience, most recently in a top twenty market. In 2008, I was awarded Best TV Sportscast in Florida by the Associated Press. My voiceover work, both on-camera and off, has been used in television coverage of nearly every major sporting event including the Stanley Cup Finals, the Final Four, the NBA Playoffs, the World Series, numerous college football bowl games, etc. But my work has not been limited to sports, I also voiced news pieces throughout my career. As an example of my versatility, I recently performed an on-camera web promo for a medical office and hosted a video sales presentation for a company that removes lime from drain pipes! I have also done radio spots for everything from imitating a teenage girl calling into a help line, to a sci-fi movie promo for a local TV station. I feel my experience as a sports anchor allowed me to not stiffen up into a "typical" news anchor voice and am now able to use that broad, fun, yet professional range to represent a wide range of businesses and products.

Television news industry
I have an in-home studio with Adobe Studio Sound Forge software enabling me to record and edit. With fourteen years experience in the television news business, I can produce tightly edited projects. I also have easy access to studios in the central Florida area.
I am very comfortable on-camera, with or without a teleprompter. I have an energetic and fun, yet very professional approach to my work. I am extremely easy to work with and feel my various experiences in the television industry as a reporter and anchor taught me to be a very fast worker. Recording quickly can save time and money. With many years of live television under my belt, I know the importance of being a "one take wonder"!
