About

I’m a trained actor, so bringing the words on the page to life is what I love doing. I’m very comfortable with taking direction and finding different ways to read a line, and I'm just as comfortable making non-fiction interesting and engaging as I am creating believeable characters in fiction. I’m hard-working, conscientious and determined to make your book the best it can be.

Training: Actors' training with The Actors' Company, and professional acting roles following that.
