I am a versatile, passionate, and fun loving singer, voice actor, and educator. I can provide voice overs for eLearning, corporate video, explainers, and commercials. As a voice teacher, my goal is to provide students with a singing technique and performance practices that are understandable, reliable, and empowering so they can bring their art to life in their own, unique way. Outside of my work, I love to cook, nerd out over a great cocktail, work on cars, and play all of the nerdy board games.…I am a versatile, passionate, and fun loving singer, voice actor, and educator.
