How did you come to performing audiobooks?

Life got real expensive and I was looking for a second stream of income with flexible hours. I spoke to a close friend of mine who is a narrator and she guided me to free “getting started in audiobook narration” resources. I then spend nearly a year off-and-on researching and gathering supplies; then I started auditioning and haven’t looked back since.

Anything else you’d like a listener to know?

Growing up homeschooled in a tiny town, books were my window into diverse worlds and experiences. I learned early on the magic of escape, connection, and transformation through story. To this day, I truly believe everyone deserves the safe space of getting lost, hurting, healing, or feeling their way through a narrative, and that belief is what drives me into the booth every single day.
