How did you come to performing audiobooks?

Classically trained with an MFA from The Old Globe, I spent years immersed in the world of Shakespeare and other great theatrical storytellers. Along the way, fellow actors encouraged me to explore audiobook narration, and I immediately felt at home. I realized that the same skills required to bring epic stories to life on stage (clarity, imagination, emotional truth, and a love of language) translate beautifully into the recording booth. Audiobook narration has become a true calling, allowing me to share powerful stories with listeners one voice at a time.

Anything else you’d like a listener to know?

Love first, and love always. I believe in the power of love. If you find the love in any story then you will find how to tell that story from an honest place. If you find what you love in life, you will know where to spend your energy in life. Be that family, art, work, or just hanging with your dog or cat.

Where your love goes, your life follows. That’s what I believe.
