Heather Lindstrom

As a fresh new voice in the field, I come bringing a different and non-traditional background to voice over work. I have spent several years working in the field of education as a teacher and Education Specialist with the State of Minnesota. In this capacity, I taught within the Minnesota Department of Corrections and worked for the Minnesota Department of Education. I am frequently called upon to present at local, state and national conferences because of my appeal to and ability to reach a variety of audiences. Plus, teaching in a prison for over six years has taught me to develop my voice as a tool to help maintain student interest in my subject matter.
