Some of my first voice over jobs took me on completely different vocal journeys, cast as the computer voice, EVA from Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun; Amazon from Diablo 2, and performing voice match for Strawberry Short Cake. What fun! I was hooked!

Among my many roles in games, anime & animation, my most popular character to date is probably that sassy, sadistic, vixen, Juri Han from the Street Fighter series.


My character vocal range varies, from little boy babies, to squawking chickens and courageous little girls, to war heroes, villains you love to hate, frightening demons and goddesses (good & bad). Accented characters too!  Wacky & wild characters are a favorite ....I love them all!


Favorite types of roles:

I love broad humor.
Kids cartoons
Games with multi-roles dramatic, serious, sultry, or sarcastic and badass.
Goofy characters of all shapes and sizes.
Anything that’s a little off beat. 

I also really enjoy using my regular voice for narration, promos, e-learning & commercials, which can sound, smooth with a hint of rasp, warm, fun, sultry, quirky, humorous and wise.  I’m the girl next door with a twist. Wise soul with a sense of off-centered humor.  Inspiring, professional, friendly and grounded.  

I’ve loved coaching VO beginners in the past, and I’m very interested in directing.

I was born and raised in Los Angeles by first generation European parents (German & Finnish born), Gratefully, I had a fun-filled childhood, and was lucky enough to experience other worlds beyond my neighborhood, traveling to distant places to visit family in Europe and Japan.  These experiences taught me to understand the world (and people) in a different way, as I was exposed to a variety of cultures.  Traveling inspired me to keep an open mind, seek new adventures, and treasure the magic of storytelling from different lands.

Acting and creating funny characters has always been my thing since I was a wee tot.  So it made sense when I choose to get a BFA in Theater from UCSB.  Then, I returned to LA and began performing on many well-known LA stages, ending up happily in voice over.  

Versatility equals continuous adventures for me.  Traveling through my imagination, to speak to different audiences and tell a story is always inspiring.  I believe story telling is key to our human history.  And, through voice acting, writing and (recently) singing, I enjoy helping clients tell their stories, emotionally effecting others, informing them, educating them and most importantly, inspiring them, to experience life differently.  And, maybe to understand our human condition better, opening up audiences to new worlds and their own imagination.
