Hello there!

Voice acting is, to me, the purest form of acting—just sound and story, emotion and imagination. The voice goes straight to the heart.

My journey started with music—opera and classical voice, to be exact—before I jumped headfirst into theater at age 11 and film acting as a teenager. I’ve got a whole toolkit of voices and accents in there (seriously, try me!)

A Bachelors degree from U.C. Berkeley in Dramatic Arts, many hours of voice lessons and voiceover classes and, here I am, spending lots of time in a padded room….voice acting.

After more than two decades performing across the SF Bay Area, L.A., at the Edinburgh Fringe, and in two companies of Les Misérables, including the national tour, I pivoted into the business and non-profit world as an HR exec, employment attorney, executive coach in tech, financial services, biotech, the SF Symphony and Asian Art Museum. That real-world experience gives me an edge when it comes to voicing corporate, educational, and e-learning projects with authenticity, empathy, and clarity.

Please contact me to discuss your project, for a custom audition or a sample recording of your script. Looking forward to helping you bring your next voiceover project to life!
