Additional Skills

In the past I have worked extensively as a Child Life Specialist/Volunteer as Mt. Sinai Hospital and in addition, during my time as an Energy Healer have spoken to many people about illness and optimism with kindness and understanding. I am quick to pronounce medical language, offer very compassionate reads with optimism yet appreciating the seriousness of the situation.

For eight years I worked at Ogilvy & Mather Advertising in the marketing department as a Group Financial Coordinator so I am versed in financial language and appreciate new technology and fiscal responsibility making it easy for me to speak to people about money, new trends, 'how to' and business in a real relatable way. I also owned my own construction and renovation company and as a partner, understand the needs of the small business person.

I have my masters in Early Childhood Education and love children and teenagers, making it easy for me to relate in that way. I love to read stories to children, get the latest books and games, appreciate time saving methods for parents and am a parent myself. Additionally, I am taking Video Game Voiceover classes and plan to take a Cartoon Character class in the near future at Actors Connection with Paul Liberti.

Currently

I always strive to improve my work, taking workshops and working with a coach weekly. It's important to read aloud everyday. Know too that I am willing to work nights and weekends - I love my work!

If you like my voice for your project, we can work together on pacing, tone, mood, and any sort of directional advice you'd like to offer. I hope this helps you in making a decision to select me for you project. Thank you!
