Acting on Experience

I began my acting career in Seattle, Washington in 1997. After college, I began studying at Freehold Theatre Lab and spent over 5 years there, completing their Professional Actor Training program and studying with Robin Lynn Smith, George Lewis, Richard Brestoff, Jessica Marlowe-Goldstein and several other influential  teachers. I was a founding member of 2 small experimental theater companies, and worked with 2 other traveling theatre programs as an actor and teaching artist while working on independent films, voiceover work and many stage productions. After several years training and working in the Seattle market, I relocated to the Olympic Peninsula, where I've raised a family, started and operated a few businesses and continued to make theatre, radio projects and other voiceover work.

I act both on stage and on screen. But my focus is behind the mic, specializing in voiceover and audiobook work. I'm also available for event hosting, as well as commercial and industrial acting. With a deep background in nonprofit business leadership and organizational consulting - as well as a solid history of acting training and experience - I can bring a broad range of expertise to any of your storytelling projects. Please see my resumé for the details of my experience and skills.

I've been having a blast lately rehearsing with a radio melodrama troupe and planning a return to theatre production, in what feels like a whole new world impacted by COVID and our rapidly evolving cultural landscape. We look forward to sharing this work as it comes together! In the meantime, I've been upgrading my voiceover studio and studying the art of audiobook narration with the expert performance and home studio coaches at SuchAVoice. I just recorded new audiobook demos which will be posted here soon (so excited!)  From there, I'll go on to refresh my commercial voiceover skills and record those demos as well. Stay tuned!
