I was raised in Wilmette, Illinois, circa 1970. Being the middle daughter made me outspoken and "the one with the personality." As a teenager, I was a big comic book fan who read constantly. I also watched a lot of Saturday morning cartoons and was fascinated with all of the different voices.

I graduated with a BA in Communications and Public Relations from Illinois State University in 1982. After graduation, I moved to Albuquerque, NM where I began a successful career in radio sales. After working for two top radio stations in Albuquerque, I became a Sales Consultant for PCA National where I was awarded top regional salesperson after less then a year at the job.

Next, I moved to Los Angeles to seek out my dream of working in the entertainment business. I worked as an Intern at "Women in Film" where I was part of a team that produced a Public Service Announcement about children staying in school. I was also involved with the Women in Film annual Crystal Awards.

Next, I worked as a "Clearance Associate" for the Eagle/Horowitz Production "Tears of Joy, Tears of Sorrow" an ABC television special. My duties included celebrity negotiation and clearance of contracts for writers, directors and actors. Additionally, during the day of the shoot I worked as John Forsythe's personal assistant. I volunteered my time working as a Sound Technician/Boom Operator on an AFI project called "Coeval." Next I spent three years as the Assistant Manager of the legendary Sunset Landmark Building in Hollywood. I was the location manager for all shoots within the building for film, television and commercial use. For the next four years I worked as a Senior Account Executive at the large marketing firm "R.L. Polk & Co." I had daily client contact for creative direction on direct mail programs. After the Los Angeles Rodney King incident and many middle of the night earthquakes, I thought a big change was in order.

I moved to Kalamazoo, MI with my former husband and had a daughter and son. We were transferred to the East Coast and I spent the next 7 years being a housewife and mother. After my children were older, I knew that I would go back to work and kept thinking about how much I enjoyed doing voices. I knew that becoming a voice over artist was in my future. During the last 20 years friends have told me that I have a very distinctive voice and many times they hear me before seeing me.

I currently live in Holmdel, New Jersey with my daughter Spencer, 15 and son Matt, 13. Holmdel is located in Central NJ which is halfway between New York City and Philadelphia. I am available to travel to Los Angeles, Chicago, Canada, or another location for creative work. I look forward to working on a variety of audio projects with my goal being to work in animated films or television.
