Actor/Narrator
To APAC and beyond!

Everything sounds more exciting in a Buzz Lightyear quote.
​
Super excited to attend my first in-person APAC since 2018. For anyone who happens to read this and has no idea what I'm talking about, it's a HUGE Audiobook conference where producers, publishers, narrators, engineers, and more come together to socialize and workshop and really, just socialize. I hadn't yet recovered from the pandemic (has anyone yet?) and could not justify going in 2023, so I am thrilled to be going this year-- plus, it's NYC BABY!!
WORK!
TV/FILM:
​​​In November, I filmed my 2nd co-star role on Chicago Fire. The audition-to-set came so quickly (about a week) and I was rather nervous on set, so I didn't look forward to watching my work, but I did and HEY! It wasn't too bad. I look forward to adding it to my reel.
​
In late August, I took a "self-tape auditioning for co-star roles" class at the Acting Studio in Chicago with Matthew Miller. It not only gave me ideas in how to improve my self-tape auditions, but gave me confidence in what I had already been doing. I highly recommend it to actors, if it's available again!
​
If I plug Matt, I should plug Stef Tovar who assisted me with a guest star audition I had for Chicago Med prior to getting this recent co-star role. Though I didn't get the part, I know his coaching helped immensely-- they called me in for another guest star, but I had just booked & shot the co-star. C'est la vie. . .
​​​​​​​NEW HEADSHOTS!! I am thrilled with these new photos. This is the 2nd time I've shot with Tyler Core and I can't speak enough about how great he was to work with, but the headshots should show it.
Audiobook NEWS:
New Release:
Spoken Realms agreed to publish Ex-Wife by Ursula Parrott with me. It's my 5th public domain book and I was thrilled to find it. ​I have some free codes if you would like a listen in exchange for a review. It's a brilliant book.
Current Audiobooks:
I'm hoping to update this soon. . . maybe this spring??? Cross your fingers for a new project!
​
Theatre NEWS:
'I was honored and excited to perform in an original, immersive Christmas Ghost story play, Bells & Whispers with Dead Reckoning Theatre Company. It was in collaboration with the International Museum of Surgical Sciences, which was originally a Lakefront mansion constructed in 1917; a perfect setting for ghost stories!
Life News:
​​Our rescue, Raffi will be 2 years old this spring. She started out as a foster, but became our "foster fail". I had intended to "fail", but thought I would be fostering a few more before that happened. She was just too good to pass up. She keeps us on our toes, but we're so happy to have her in our family.
Hope this finds you switching from those hot drinks to cool spring beverages!
