I have been devoted to storytelling since I was a child - first as an avid reader, next as a movie watcher, and finally in my first stage role as a duckling. Today, whether on a stage, in front of a camera, or through a microphone, I relish the singular experience of collaborating with a writer's words.

With a masters degree in Theatre from University of Central Missouri and ten years of regional theatre credits as an actor and director, my storytelling versatility means I can jump smoothly from the immersion of memoirs and literary fiction; to the many character voices of genre novels; to the youth, energy, and vulnerability of YA; to the focus and clarity of non-fiction, and more.

And when I'm not in my booth or on stage? You'll probably find me playing with my dog or baking bread, macarons, pies, and cakes!
