How did you come to performing audiobooks?

“I was already working in voiceover, and audiobooks were presented to me as another avenue to create and perform. Plus I loved reading, so it seemed like a great option to try.”

Anything else you’d like a listener to know?

“I love telling stories about characters overcoming challenges and coming out the other side stronger for it. I love exploring all types of human — or non-human, in some cases — relationships, and seeing the growth and nuance each character experiences. More than anything, I am in awe of the worlds each author has created, and so grateful to get to play in these worlds.”
