Born and raised in sunny Los Angeles, my love of characters and acting started when I was young, on a kid-friendly block in L.A., where I drew comedic animal cartoons for my friends which made them laugh. We also put on shows for the neighborhood Mom’s which I acted & directed, and sometimes I cast my cat as the lead. 🙂
My passion for acting earned me a BFA in Theater Arts from UCSB. Then, I returned to LA to pursue my acting career, performing on numerous well-known L.A. stages, and booking TV & Indie on-camera roles.
However, my love for creating characters different from myself naturally led me into voice over. My first game job I booked through my on-camera agent was Amazon from “Diablo 2”, a heroin who won that heart of many fans. It was a lucky start, that is for sure.
You can hear my voice in over 175+ games, anime, and animations, including popular roles such as: Juri Han/“Street Fighter” series, Dr. Hypatia /”Dishonored 2″ , Sasha/”inFamous”, Blue /“Wolf’s Rain”, Pi/”.hack//GU, , “Danganronpa : Ultra Despair Girls” as Hiroko; “Transformers: War of Cybertron” as Slipstream; “Persona 4” as Saki & Hanako; “World of Warcraft” & “Hearthstone” games as Queen Lana’thel, Freya & many more roles.
Also, I also enjoy performing narrations, promos, and commercials that inspire, educate, inform and motivate others to make the world a better place.
Gratefully, I continue to work in voice over LA. I also love traveling to meet the fans at various conventions.
In my free time, I enjoy adventures in nature, singing, traveling, yoga/meditation, and hanging out with my smart, funny cats, Lyra & Piper who act like dogs. I believe in the power of human imagination, the art of storytelling, and having as much “FUN” as humanly possible.
