A life long love of drama inspired my acting experience thus far. Now I explore the wonderful world of voice over from home, pouring life, passion and acting skills into my work. Over the past years, I have recorded dozens of audiobooks, and hundreds of shorter projects for promo, video narration, character voices and more. I love reading fiction and fantasy books along the lines of Harry Potter and Peter Pan, as well as factual, nature stories and documentary scripts.
