I’m a voice actor based in Cleveland, Ohio. Versatility is my strong suit — I’m the caring mom, the buttoned-up lawyer, the evil queen, and, if the job calls for it, a baby octopus.

Growing up, I spent way too many hours in front of the television watching I Love Lucy reruns, Loony Tunes, and movie musicals. So, I guess you could say that my biggest influences have been Lucille Ball, Barbra Streisand, and Bugs Bunny.

After studying theatre at Webster University and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, New York became my home. From there I traveled the country performing in summer stock and regional theaters.

As a singer, my musical home is jazz and its cousin, the bossa nova. I learned Portuguese so I could sing those beautiful Brasilian tunes in their original language. I may not be fluent, but I have had natives tell me that they were sure I was a carioca (a native of Rio) after they’d heard me sing.

I’ve also managed to squeeze in a career as a legal assistant, move across country (three times!), and successfully raise a blended family… which is not for the faint of heart!

Now that I’ve told you my story, I’d love to tell yours.
