Provides spot-on comedic relief."

Narration Samples
Storytelling has always had a central place in my life. My mother read to me every day, and when family gathered we would sing old songs about love, hard times, and heaven's pearly gates. As a child, I would create characters with their own backstory and inner life, spending hours acting out their adventures. Showchoir, community theater, dance, talent shows:
it really did feel like all the world was a stage.
And books...there were always books.
I've helped bring characters off the page for years as a model for my book-illustrator partner. Now, as a narrator, I continue to use my skills to be part of the great storytelling tradition. I bring an intimacy and vulnerability to the script, and my confident grasp of character and pacing help build the connection between the story and the listener.
I'm very happy to be a member of SAG-AFTRA, and to serve on the board of directors for PANA (Professional Audiobook Narrator's Association).
I live in Oregon, and when not at the mic I can usually be found reading, drinking tea, metalsmithing, playing the mountain dulcimer, or sitting under a tree and daydreaming.
