About Me


I am a proud graduate of Florida State University with a degree in Media & Communication Studies. During my time at FSU, I had the privilege of working at the university’s award-winning radio station, WVFS Tallahassee 89.7 FM. It was there that I combined my passions for creative writing, storytelling, and sports with my newfound love for voiceover—especially during sports promo segments. Through radio, I not only found my voice but refined it, developing the distinctive announcer-style delivery that sets me apart today.

The Meaning Behind My Brand

“A Voice That Commands Attention.” This phrase carries a triple meaning for me:

  1. Standing Out in the Industry – As a voiceover talent, my goal is to distinguish myself in a competitive industry, commanding the attention of clients and collaborators with a voice that is both dynamic and engaging.
  2. Captivating Audiences – My voice is more than just sound; it’s an instrument that breathes life into words, energizing scripts and making every project compelling and memorable.
  3. A Defining Moment – The phrase itself was first spoken to me by Whitney Mosley, then Assistant Director of Marketing at WKRG-TV, during a summer internship in Mobile, Alabama. Upon meeting me, she remarked that I had “a voice that commands attention”—a statement that, ironically, left me speechless. She later introduced me to renowned voiceover artist Jim Cutler, whose insights ignited my passion for the industry. That moment set me on a path I had never before considered but instantly knew was meant for me.

Bringing Stories to Life

Under the mentorship of esteemed industry professionals such as Maria Howell and Peter Baker, I honed my craft, developing a versatile and commanding voice.

Now, as I embark on what I am confident will be a thriving career, my mission is clear: to bring authenticity, energy, and professionalism to every project.

But don’t just take my word for it—listen for yourself. Check out my commercial, promo, corporate narration, and eLearning voiceover demos, and see if you agree that I have A Voice That Commands Attention!
