My vocal abilities include: Comedic, quirky, upbeat, inspirational, motivational, regional (Southern and Midwest) supportive, bold, and confident voices.

Some of my recent credits as a voice actor include an audiobook called The End of Love by Sabrina Strings, a regional commercial for Northwestern Medicine, a comedic short film called Secret Menu Beauty Pageant, a promo for American Conservatory Theater announcing The Wizard of Oz, and a fictional podcast called Higher Grounds. I have past television, theatre, and radio acting experience. I worked in television production on “The Arsenio Hall Show” and also performed as an actor on the show. I acted in theatre while a student at Purdue University, and I performed as a spoken word artist on “Soul Plus Magazine,” a radio show in Indiana. My recent voiceover training includes private coaching and creating my commercial demo with Robin Reed, as well as voiceover classes at The Actor’s Studio of Orange County with Isaac Robinson-Smith. My other acting training includes: Characterization and Movement (Purdue University), Improv Workshop A (The Groundlings), Fundamentals of Acting I, II, and III, On Camera Audition and Performance Technique, Improvisation I, and Advanced Improvisation (South Coast Repertory), and Reality of Doing: Living Truthfully (The Actor’s Studio of Orange County).
