My background as an in-house ad copywriter and voice over talent for numerous radio stations in California's Bay area, led to opportunities for writing and voicing hundreds of ads and promos. In addition, I've had experience as a writer, voice over and on-air talent for ad agencies and TV stations. While interning at a radio station in the Bay Area I quickly worked my way up to copywriter, voice over talent and ad agency account executive.
