About me

Since 2010, I have been a dedicated and professional voice talent, working with clients around
the world on a wide variety of projects, from character voices and commercials to eLearning and
more. My career has been a journey shaped by my passion for storytelling and vocal
performance, but also by my personal experiences, including my lifelong struggle with Retinitis
Pigmentosa (RP).
When I lost all remaining vision, I was forced to close my business, but I refused to let that be
the end of my story. After countless hours relearning and adapting my workflow to navigate
without usable eyesight, I relaunched my voiceover career three years ago, stronger and more
focused than ever.
This period of growth and adaptation led me to a new chapter: the world of audio description.
Creating accessible media for fellow blind and low-vision consumers has been both a personal
and professional fulfillment. It’s more than a job; it’s a way to give back to a community I’m
deeply connected to. The joy of bridging the gap between content and accessibility fuels my
passion for each project, and I’m committed to bringing authentic and meaningful contributions
to every script and voiceover I work on.
As a proud and active member of the American Council of the Blind (ACB), The National
Association of Voice Actors (NAVA), and The Television Academy of Arts and Sciences
(performers), I am a vocal advocate for the inclusion of blind talents in all aspects of
audio description creation. I believe it’s imperative that the voices of those who consume
AD are heard within the creative process. Representation matters, and the unique
insights of blind professionals can elevate the art of accessible media.
Throughout my career, I’ve continued to hone my craft through classes, panels, and interviews,
maintaining the flexibility to adapt to a wide range of genres—from theatrical and episodic
storytelling to educational content and thrillers. Every project is an opportunity to create
something special, and I bring the highest level of professionalism to ensure a meaningful
connection for my audience.
My mission is simple: to deliver quality voiceover work that not only meets the needs of my
clients but also enhances the experience of blind and low-vision consumers everywhere.
