BIOGRAPHY
I started voice recording as a news reader for my town's local radio station when I was 18 years old. I couldn't stop. I got a 4-year degree in Broadcast Journalism and now work from home out of my own professional studio in Ohio, United States. My favorite work is in commercials, but I truly enjoy any job I do.

CREDITS
SKILLS
| Voice | I put my all of my voice into every project I work on. From real and conversational to upbeat and bright to cool and collected, my job is to give you exactly what you need and I always deliver. I thrive in a live session and can turn your direction into action, but I also self-direct to perfection. My pacing and inflection are natural and easy on the ears and my tone is at just the right pitch. I don’t just read words, I talk to people, the people you are trying to reach. Thanks for giving me a try on your next project. |
| Production/Audio Editing | Production and editing isn't always a skill you get when you hire a voice talent. I started working in radio, so I built up my audio editing and production skills before my voice was ready for broadcast. I work in Adobe Audition and Reaper and have a good ear for what sounds good. |
| Writing | I have a degree in broadcast journalism and have written radio, TV and newspaper stories. I spent several years creating human interest stories during my early work in radio as well. |
