My first introduction to the voice over world came when I did my college internship at a radio station in Seattle. I fell in love with writing, producing and voicing commercials. I've had jobs as a news anchor,sales coordinator, copywriter, production director, public service director, music director, television host, radio disc jockey, telerecruiter, band business manager and stand-in/background actor. When all is said and done, my one true passion is voice-over work.
I've been fortunate to work at several radio stations that allowed me to do numerous commercials, promos and psa's on a regular basis. I was also the TV station's female voice talent at the CBS affiliate in Seattle for several years.
Since living in Los Angeles, I've had the opportunity to
continue doing voice over work including commercials for California Lottery, Rio Hotel Suites Las Vegas, Southern California Edison, Lowe's Home Improvement, Los Angeles Times and countless other clients.

Thanks to my copywriting, radio and television experience, I have an impeccable sense of timing which allows me to interpret and read copy in a way that gives the most effective delivery. I also have keen listening skills and understand the importance of hearing how a line should be delivered. I take directions and suggestions well and can work solo or with others in a session. I'm prompt, prepared and productive!
