My vocal expressions started as a child when I would freestyle my own song lyrics, eventually writing them down (I still do). As my training progressed to include Voice & Diction, Class Voice (singing) and Musical Theatre (singing), I now enjoy a variety of styles for voice performance. Gradually gaining voice over credits in various short films as the supporting or lead actress and recently for Honda's Voice Recognition test using a Texan accent. My experience with the Gardner's Story Box through BookPALS, makes me eager to do a children's animation series and feature, as well as commercials and general work.

My love and experience in photography means I have a great eye for detail, different perspectives and emotive quality.
My experience in childcare (including teaching Pre-K and dance) taught me to be curious, have fun, stay energetic and to motivate kids through compassion and understanding.
As an Executive Assistant I learned to be highly organized and thorough and anticipate needs to help reduce stress and keep projects on track.
These skills help me provide a variety of emotive inflections to range from professional descriptions to energetic kid friendly commercials.
