One day, when I was 11 years old, it hit me that I enjoyed sharing stories with my friends at least as much as I enjoyed all the crazy things we did. It was then that I knew--although I didn't have a word for it yet--that I was storyteller. Now, in addition to telling my own stories in schools, bars, and around kitchen tables, I help my clients turn the written word back into stories; whether it is how to save a failing business, feed your pet lizard, or soar through the stars on a fantastical journey. I take my work and your product very seriously. I am an accredited voice-over artist through SAVOA (#9011) and hold a BFA in Acting, BA in English, and MA in Storytelling.
