About

I've been acting, singing, and telling stories for my entire life - from performing on stage and in film, to teaching reading and writing to kids and kids at heart. Because of my years in the classroom, my narration has a youthful, engaging quality to it. I'm interested in lots of stories in a variety of genres, but am most drawn to fantasy and sci-fi, especially in the YA and middle-grade world. I also love a good science-based non-fiction book.
I currently work as the Associate Artistic Director for the award-winning children's literacy and arts organization The Story Pirates.

Training: I did the PRH Mentorship program with Brady Emerson as my mentor. I completed the APA mentorship program as well, working with Wayne Mitchell and Amy Rubinate. I've done narrator coaching with Gabra Zackman, Ronnie Butler, and PJ Ochlan. Audie award for Gaysians by Mike Curato.
