About Me
With years of character role recording for fiction podcasts, I bring a creative and professional touch to voice acting. With a marketing degree, I excel in giving brands a distinctive voice across various media platforms like corporate explainers, training videos, and IVR/Telephony systems. A warm and welcoming voice is crucial in business, and I'm proud to offer exactly that.
When I'm not recording or auditioning, I'm dedicated to supporting fellow creatives and advocating for survivors of intimate partner/domestic violence and military veterans. Using the reach of social media, I create safe spaces for victims seeking refuge and encouragement on their journey to recovery. As a survivor myself, it's a privilege to help others who have faced similar challenges.
My most recent and proudest achievement this year is taking on the role of Showrunner for The Dead podcast, which is now in it’s inaugural chapter titled, “Precious Cargo”. This horror anthology series is produced by the Bloody FM Podcast Network and Bloody Disgusting, in partnership with The George A. Romero Foundation. It's an honor to be a part of such a prestigious project, and I'm thrilled to contribute to the success of this captivating venture.
In the world of voice over, some may dismiss certain descriptors as cheesy or cliché, but in the context of my clients' feedback, these words take on such a new and profound meaning. Words like "caring" and "alluring" suddenly become a form of high praise when used to characterize my vocal skills…ones that I do not take lightly!
Having had the pleasure and absolute privilege of lending my voice to a diverse array of characters in podcasts, I've voiced characters ranging from the seasoned detective to the overworked, overtired, tough-as-nails mom desperately in need of a spa day, to the wicked computer program, to the optimistic inventory clerk with a fiery streak, and the gritty soldier with a soft spot, or the child on an adventure at summer camp… my vocal versatility knows no bounds.
Much of my work can be heard on the Bloody FM Podcast Network (SCP Archives, The Hotel, Margaret’s Garden, Mayfair Watcher’s Society), as well as other notable podcasts like Studio Archion, The Kingery Road: Resort & Casino, and Moonbase Theta Out.
As a narrator for Creepy Podcast, I find immense fulfillment in lending voice to a genre that truly resonates with me. Whether delving into the realms of Sci-Fi, Horror, or embracing the edgy vibes of Punk/Industrial themes, I am passionate about creating an immersive experience for listeners.
I believe in the power of storytelling, especially within the horror genre, as it allows for a unique exploration of human emotions and a journey into the uncanny. I aim to captivate audiences and bring stories to life in a way that lingers in the minds of the listeners.
Narrating horror stories holds a special significance for me, as I believe that art should be able to elicit emotions like fascination, wonder, curiosity, and even a little fright. Providing listeners with an unforgettable journey into the mysteriously weird and macabre is always a goal in mind when performing - in the end, this can help listeners connect better authentically with the production, and in this medium, authentic connection is key.
