I have spent my short and passionate career first and foremost as a singer and actress. I've concentrated on voice overs for commercials and industrials as well as acting in films, gaining regional then international exposure. 

At a young age I realized I had a knack for puplic speaking and entertaining audiences, so when I found Northshore Chamber Connections Toastmasters club in 2004 and realized how valuable it would be to my career, I joined the very next day and stayed with them for two years.  I even served a term as Secretary, furthering my role as a public liaison.  I since then have gained a lot of personal and professional fulfillment helping to bridge the gap between companies and media with writing services such as press releases, public service announcements and other PR services. 

I've also worked a lot as national trade show, promotional spokesmodel and host or emcee for corporate conventions, fashion shows, bridal shows and variety showcases, all the while studying and developing my innate acting truth.  CLICK HERE to go to my Spokesmodel page.

When voice acting began to be successful and singing continued to thrive, in 2001 I made the easy transition to on-camera acting!  It just came, I thought naturally, but not without lovely challenges!  With the help of esteemed acting coach Colleen Patrick, my work has continued to mature and thrive in film, television and live events.  WOW!  Looking back on my acting ability before Colleen, I equate my experience with the first time one hears their voice on the answering machine!  Yech!    Colleen has helped me to harness and put to work the tools I knew I had, but didn't fully understand.  I am so glad I can laugh at myself, one of the most important life lessons you can learn!  I encourage every performer who is serious about developing their craft in skill and business to see Colleen Patrick.  This relationship both professionally and personally is a blessing!  

Mark my words... This is JUST THE BEGINNING!   LIVE, LAUGH (at yourself!), LEARN.

I grew up in the internationally award winning Columbia Choirs.  During High School I was accepted into two different All-Northwest Honor Choirs and the All-State Honor Jazz Choir and then while living in Germany during a high school cultural exchange I was part of the Hamburg Altserspatzen Opera Choir.


I got my acting feet wet in Columbia Choirs musical productions, junior high and high school productions, and then went on to study voiceover acting technique just after high school and began teaching singing lessons privately.  Eleven years of international touring experience has shaped me not only as a singer, but also as a person, and if there is one thing I've learned it's though music is the same wonderfully elating language the world 'round, driving directions are not and interpretation through humor is needed in both.
