I first publicly used my voice in the kids’ choir at church, which carried through to high school when I went to States with the women’s ensemble.
While my kids will happily tell you that Rihanna and I sound exactly alike when the music is turned all the way up, these days the only audience I sing in front of is whoever is stuck in a car with me.
Thankfully, my professional relationship with the microphone is a little more refined.
I use my voice to bring ideas to life, guide conversations, connect with audiences, and give stories the presence they deserve. From a conference stage to a podcast studio, a narrated book to an on-camera video, I bring warmth, clarity, personality, and a genuine connection to the room.
Event Moderator/Host
Keeping the energy moving, the conversation focused, and the audience engaged. I can host, moderate panels, facilitate conversations, and help create an experience that feels polished without feeling overly scripted.
Narration & Voice Over
Warm, conversational, intelligent, and approachable narration for audiobooks, e-learning, explainer videos, branded content, podcasts, and other multimedia projects.
Podcast Hosting & Guest Moderation
Thoughtful questions, natural conversation, and the ability to make people feel comfortable behind a microphone. Whether you need a host, guest moderator, or someone to help shape the flow of a conversation, I bring both structure and spontaneity.
Facilitation & Live Conversations
Multimedia
Panels, retreats, workshops, and gatherings that need someone who can hold the room, ask the next good question, and keep the conversation moving somewhere meaningful.
From social videos and educational content to brand storytelling and explainers, I bring a natural presence that feels like a person, not a performance.
Being a 2x moderator for Podbean’s Podcast Wellness Week was an absolute honor! Not only did I host a roundtable with 3 other experts, but I was also asked to interview headlining guest, Kati Morton.
Additionally, I have taught dozens of in-person and virtual workshops. Being in front of a crowd usually makes most introverts (like me) nervous, but I feel incredibly confident with a mic in my hand!
I had the opportunity to lead my Teach the Voice workshop, bringing my years of experience in podcasting, communication, and media into the room to help educators rethink how we teach students to find and use their voice.
Through hands-on activities and real-world strategies, we explored how podcasting can become more than a media project—it can be a powerful tool for building communication, confidence, storytelling, critical thinking, and other skills students will carry far beyond the classroom.
