Hey there! I'm a Voice Actor, Game Dev, & VO Director. I also co-own an audio post-production company for film, animation, and games from indie to AAA - SFX, Sound Design, Voice Acting, Mocap, & more!I'm a former Opera singer turned Data Scientist, who said screw the corporate world to pursue acting. And I actually succeeded! Now I act full-time and share my tech knowledge with creative people.Join me as I live life as a full-time actor in the world of AI and clumsily figure out how we protect human creativity without technophobia. I'll share stuff I'm proud of, random behind-the-scenes stories, and probably pics of my dog Bazooka-Jones.Survivor. Real-life Archer. Horror & Sci-Fi nerd who went from the land of Selena to the land of “You Betcha.” Send tacos.
Voice Acting
A globally recognized voice at your fingertips.
Games & Animation
When you need a voice that cuts through the noise with heart, badassery, complexity, & a little bit of weirdo energy, I'm the secret weapon of any team with something to prove. I love backing new and interesting projects, so reach out if you think I can bring your character to life (spoiler: I can).Known for playing complex strong women, villains, mothers and their daughters, cocky bicep babes, misunderstood anti-heroes, side-changers, dommy mommies, adorable weirdos, sexy anything, anxious sweethearts, emotionally complex AI, and give award-winning dramatic monologues that fuel your power with audience tears.
Trailers
I've voiced trailers for AAA and Indie games, even a few major Hollywood movie trailers. Femme voices belong in trailers too, and I'm trying to prove that. If you've ever referenced the intro to Fellowship of the Ring, I'm your person.
Other Voice Specialties
Loving variety as much as I do, I've stumbled into a lot of different niche categories. Let's add some more.

AI for Creatives
from real-world experience
I left my IT job over concerns about security and AI. I would ironically later turn down several offers from global AI companies interested in owning my voice for their "personas". Since then, I’ve focused on helping creatives better understand how these technologies are shaping our industry, without technophobia or doomerism.I’ve had the chance to advise & write articles for groups like SAG, NAVA, and other creative organizations, and I’m now sharing what I’ve learned through my Substack newsletter.If you’d like to stay informed without spending all your time on social media, this is for you. I’ve also included a reading list of AI & Creative books so you can dig into the topics and decide for yourself.
if you buy a book from my list, your purchase supports a local library & I will receive a small % 🖤
