I grew up in a tiny mountain town in California near Yosemite, often following my dad to his work at a computer game company. There, I watched voice actors, foley artists, and animators collaborate each day, and was inspired to pursue a creative career of my own. I’ll never forget sitting in the studio, watching “elves” and “princesses” record their lines while I colored on copies of their character model sheets.

I also have worked as a performer at the Disneyland Resort, where I played “Mom Elias” in the Innoventions Dream Home, gave live technology shows, spoke about the process of animation/Disney history with the Youth Education Series and taught people how to draw Mickey and his friends in the Animation Academy.

I am constantly learning and studying the field of voiceover work in order to sharpen my skills. That means I’m up on blogs, listening to podcasts, practicing in the studio, working through audio editing tutorials, and reading books about it daily! I am also a member of the World Voices Organization (WoVO), Women in Animation, and the Voxy Ladies.
