Allow me to take you on a little journey through my life’s adventures. I was born and raised in charming Southwest Michigan, where my love for performing blossomed singing on stage at our local community theater debuting at the age of ten in "A Christmas Carol."

​

I am a classically trained mezzo-soprano, though my true passion lies in the world of musical theater. 

I may have taken a break from the stage, but you can always count me in for some carpool karaoke!

 

A few years ago, I decided to leave the winter weather behind and make a fresh start in sunny California.  I am a gemologist by trade and spent 15 years in the jewelry industry, writing appraisals and purchasing gemstones.

 

Life took a turn when my twins were born and I have since found a calling as an advocate for autistic, neuro-diverse, and dyslexic students, with my primary focus being special education services.

 

Reading has always been one of my greatest joys, and in my quest to share this love with my brilliant dyslexic son, I discovered the enchanting world of audiobooks. 

Now, my typical day is a mix of recording, navigating the “tween” years with my twins, and caring for our menagerie of 5 cats, 3 dogs, a corn snake, and 20 chickens.

​

In my free time, I love to travel with my husband. We are looking forward to celebrating our 20th anniversary in Spain this summer – it promises to be an unforgettable adventure!

 

Thank you for taking the time to read about my journey. I look forward to connecting with you!
