Though I love to travel, there\u2019s no place like my home in Missouri. I was born and raised just north of Kansas City, and being a Midwest girl, I believe in hard work and authenticity. I\u2019ve always been fascinated with people and I\u2019m the kind of person who strikes up a friendly conversation with the cashier at the grocery store, or the guy standing next to me in a long line.
\nWhen I got to college and discovered that you can actually get a degree in communicating effectively with other human beings (who knew?), I couldn\u2019t get signed up fast enough! Heading into\xa0my senior year, I had the crazy idea of becoming a TV advertising executive, so I landed an internship at a nearby cable station. One day, a producer asked me to read the script for a commercial and I suddenly discovered my passion for voice over! That was 10 years ago, and now here I am, recording in my home studio or with real people in their Kansas City area studios.\xa0When I\u2019m not behind a microphone, I still hone my skills regularly by reading to my four young children or watching HGTV with my husband; when you\u2019re in voiceover, the commercials become a lot more interesting! I love meeting new people\xa0through social media, so feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter.
