I’ve established a strong reputation as a voiceover agent among peers\, associates\, and other professionals.\nI began my career as a receptionist at SBV in October 2000. Within a year\, I became a scheduler/booth director and then worked my way up to the animation agent’s assistant. My journey took me to Osbrink\, where I was the head of the voiceover department.\nAt Solid Talent\, I served as head of all voiceover—commercial\, animation\, and video games— and built the department from the ground up.\nI then moved to Atlas Talent\, focusing on commercial voiceover. While I excelled in this area\, my true passion lies in animation and interactive games. This led me to Vox\, Inc.\, where I led the animation and video game department to new heights.\nMy career has been built on finding and developing actors who bring fresh\, funny\, and unique perspectives to each audition and job. I’ve worked hard to develop my career and love working with talent to elevate their careers.\nIn addition to my professional life\, I am also an avid snow skier and outdoor adventurer.
