As a life long student of linguistics and the voice, I bring passion and creativity to the process of voice acting. My unique background includes not only formal training in the human voice, languages, Music, and the art of acting from the time of childhood all the way up to the University level, but also countless hours of personal practice, study and exploration of the magic of sound and performance.
I enjoy lending my voice to a variety of projects such as the Narrator for the ground breaking educational Virtual Reality Program for Students with Special Needs at the Department of Special Education of the University of Kansas or as Lysander for the Kansas Public Radio's broadcast of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
I can do everything from neutral audiobook readings to singing high energy duets and more.

Professional, local sound engineers and studios are within a short distance from my home.
A sociable and upbeat person with a passion for learning, I've found myself in a variety of situations and contexts.
My experience in tele-sales lends itself not only to vocal quality but also to understanding a consumer's need to trust the voice that delivers a product's story.
I love reading, and do extensive research when offered to be a part of any project.
Let's work together!
