I’m a professional performer with a background in acting, stand-up comedy, and film production. I specialize in delivering natural, engaging performances with strong timing, personality, and emotional range. As a comedian, I bring sharp timing and authenticity that helps scripts feel real and not over-rehearsed. As an actor, I know how to connect with an audience and bring depth to both voice over and on-camera work. I work across: Voice over (commercial, narration, character) Acting and on-camera performanceScripted content and storytelling I’m also a writer and director on independent film projects, which gives me a strong understanding of pacing, tone, and what clients are looking for in a performance. Clients can expect: Natural, conversational delivery Strong comedic timing when needed Professional audio and fast turnaround Easy collaboration and direction If you’re looking for someone who can act, perform, and bring personality to your project—not just read lines—I’d love to work with you.

I have over 7 years of professional multimedia production experience across audio and visuals in radio shows, podcasts, musical albums, films, audiobooks, and educational videos. I have worked with university professors, authors, musicians, and directors to produce high quality work under tight deadlines. My primary skillsets are in audio and music — editing and mixing since 2006. I am proficient in editing and repairing music and dialog using Fender Studio Pro 8 and Izotope RX 9. I compose jingles and short songs for videos as well as read sheet music for music production. I have provided sound design and created original soundscapes for feature films, short films, audiobooks, and podcast as well as produced and edited multiple musical albums. I have been producing, filming, and editing videos since 2017. From pre-production to post-production, I plan with Storyboarder, shoot with Panasonic S1H, edit with Kdenlive, and create motion graphics, color, and compose with Natron. I create original artwork and demonstrations utilizing GIMP, Krita, Inkscape, and Blender. Finally, I am a script writer and copywriter. I learned screenwriting as an undergraduate from 2017 as well as having my first year on track to an MFA in dramatic writing. I have written short films, video scripts, and plays utilizing Final Draft 12. Each week I write copy for radio and podcast episodes to create excitement and interest, attracting new viewers to growing shows. I am a technical creative and while my skillsets are broad, I take everything I put forward seriously, spending much of my free time learning and applying skills both personally and professionally. I love producing, creating, and cohesively connecting content. Let's discuss how I can help you deliver polished audio and video projects on time!
