Intuitive.
Expressive.
Collaborative.
Musically trained.
Slightly mischievous.
Professional to the core.
As former scientist with a musical theater background and a deep love of storytelling, I’ve been bringing both precision and play to my voice acting career for the last decade.
I’m disciplined and professional, but creatively fearless, and a collaborator at heart. I will show up prepared, take direction well, and still surprise you with something unexpected.
My natural voice is mid-pitch, feminine, articulate, and slightly textured.
My three-octave range, vocal training, and accent work have allowed me to voice kids, teens, queens, witches, grandmas, soldiers, and more.
I’m particularly good at genuine, conversational reads, but I enjoy difficult emotional scripts, love doing game efforts and emotes, and I’m not afraid of screaming and yelling when it’s needed!
I’ve voiced characters for games, animation, and children’s e-learning, narrated multiple audiobooks, produced audiodramas, helped to bring commercials and corporate training videos to life.
I’ve also facilitated workshops on voice acting in video games and offer private coaching for beginning voice actors.
I particularly like to work with later-in-life career-changers like me, because I know what it’s like to start from zero. But I firmly believe it’s never too late and you’re never too old.
I’ve loved every minute of it…
…and I’d love to bring your project to life. Contact me and let’s get started!
When I’m not behind the mic, you can find me in the gym lifting heavy weights. I am a NASM-Certified Personal Trainer who competes in powerlifting and trains other women to become stronger and more confident.
I also organize a local voice actor accountability group, lead a church women’s group, and host a weekly community gathering called “Friday Float.”
When I’m not doing all the above, you can find me out and about in Columbus, OH, attending my kids’ events, walking my dog, or singing with the worship team at Cypress church.
I record from a broadcast-quality professional home studio optimized in collaboration with voice-over audio engineer George Whittam.
I approach the technical side of voiceover with the same curiosity and discipline I bring to performance. Rather than just learning enough to record, I completed the official Source Connect certification course to better troubleshoot technical issues during remote sessions.
This gives me smooth communication with clients, studios, and engineers in real time.
I also pursued advanced Adobe Audition training through a comprehensive professional course, which allows me to work confidently beyond basic editing, including audio cleanup, mastering, workflow optimization, and efficient session management. The result is a recording process that is technically reliable and built to minimize friction for clients.
