About Me

Driven by my love for performance, I pursued a specialized acting program at Northern Illinois University, where I graduated with a BFA in Acting. My education primarily focused on the Meisner method, complemented by voice training that emphasized the Fitzmaurice method, the International Phonetic Alphabet, and dialects. Additionally, I participated in various movement training classes, including a ballet class—which I surprisingly enjoyed!

During my junior year in college, I had the incredible opportunity to study abroad at the Moscow Art Theatre School in Russia. There, I dove into the world of the Stanislavski method and Droznin movement techniques. I also got hands-on learning with fencing, stage combat, and singing. And it was here that I received a certification for on-stage fencing. I saw many fantastic performances and history too- it was an unforgettable experience!

I’ve expanded my voice acting expertise through numerous online classes led by industry professionals. These sessions have provided invaluable firsthand insights from agents, audio engineers, casting representatives, voice acting directors, and seasoned voice actors. Their vast amount of industry experience and knowledge has offered me a deep understanding of the voice acting landscape as a whole, in addition to various specialized skills and tips.

Venturing into audio engineering was like diving into the deep end. My first real experience involved grappling to meet the ACX standards for my debut audiobook. An approach I would not recommend!

Since then, I’ve embarked on a continuous learning journey with courses to deepen my understanding of audio engineering. This journey included mastering the basics, engaging in hands-on applications, optimizing my recording space for the best possible recordings, and uncovering the capabilities and operations of my digital audio workstation (DAW). Through these efforts, I’ve developed an effective editing chain, enabling me to deliver a professional-sounding final product to my clients.

Before jetting off on my semester abroad, I laid the groundwork of my singing skills with two years of private vocal study under Stephanie Myre (affiliated with the National Association of Teachers of Singing). Since then, I’ve recently completed a course of lessons with Alex Charles Music. My lessons with Alex not only broadened my horizons into different genres but also equipped me with new and refined skills.

For me, singing lessons are about more than just hitting the right notes – they’re about experimenting with new sounds, delving deeper into my vocal range, and pushing the boundaries of what I thought possible.
