LocationNew Zealand (GMT +12)

Genuine kiwi accented female with additional working accents in toolchest: 6 British dialects 3 US, Russian/Eastern European (Moscovite in both upper and lower registers), 3 Australian (including Melbourne/Adelaide), and 5 New Zealand/Kiwi dialects. I speak a little standard French, Māori, Swedish, and Italian. I trained in opera when younger, and can still sing if needed but now more mezzo-soprano over coloratura. Polysyllabic words are my jam, and I have a deep interest in both pure and social science. I'm academically inclined, currently completing a Masters in International Security with a focus on space security, so I have lived experience in research and eLearning. I'm fascinated by medical, technical, cyber, informational, and narration supporting these areas. Vocationally my corporate background includes project delivery, finance/banking, IT, and public sector - all of which have immense industrials as part of training. I'm happy to travel as well as record from home, and also provide booth direction, pre-/post- life and script analysis.
