I’m excited to bring decades of performance experience to the world of audiobook narration.  Some of my favorite acting roles have been Maggie, the determined heroine of Tennessee Williams’ Cat on a Hot Tin Roof; a magical tree in the NYC premiere of Guellen, Kansas; and a whimsical work in progress in Lift, for which I also won the award for Best Screenplay at the Sunset Film Festival.

An award-winning improviser, my natural humor and bright, friendly voice is a perfect fit for YA and Children’s lit, as well as the playful and colorful characters of a cozy mystery. With years of experience as both a certified ESL teacher and a performance arts teacher, I'm drawn to scholastic narration to present information in a uniquely relatable way.   

An avid traveler (26 countries to date!), I have lived, worked and studied around the country and the world.  When not recording or globetrotting, I can most likely be found watching game shows in my pajamas and eating all of the pizza.
