What do you always have in the booth?

How did you come to performing audiobooks?

Audiobook narration was a natural progression for me coming from a theatre degree background. My mom may also have said I could never find a job I could do in my pajamas so perhaps there was a little extra “toldja so” in there too!

Anything else you’d like a listener to know?

In a world filled with so much turmoil and uncertainty, jumping into other realities for awhile and breathing life into beautiful characters brings me joy (despite my self admonishment of “Get it together, Friday!” when a story makes me cry). Each character I voice carries a little piece of my soul and it is such a privilege to share that with you.
