I started out my career in broadcasting as a DJ in 1985 in San Luis Obispo, CA when I ventured into the voice over industry. Working as an announcer for an AC station, I picked up a second job at KSBY television, where I recorded everything from station ID's, commercials, news promos and public service announcements. As much as I loved living along the Central Coast of California, within six years I was offered a job in the fourth largest market in the country. Packing up my family we headed to San Francisco to further my career. With broadcasting a very fickle career choice, I was trained and worked in everything from DJ work, news writing/announcing, traffic reporting and expanded my commercial VO training. My goal was to stay employed and I have been very succesful working for such stations as KDFC, K101, KCBS, KRTY, KKSF among others.
In 1995, I was signed by one of the most successful voice-over talent agencies in San Francisco and have worked continuously over the years. I can be heard on both radio and television as the voice of First Republic Bank, the traffic announcer on STAR 101.3 and the news announcer for The Quake. For the past few years, I've seen the voice-over industry expand with an even greater demand for corporate narration, website tutorials and phone messaging services. That is when I decided to built my own recording studio and my own business. My clients have included PeopleSoft, Visa, Clorox, Denny's, Excite.com, HP, Emporio Cigars and am the voice of Varian Medical Supplies. That's only the corporate narrative aspect of my business. I've recorded numerous commercials, phone messaging systems and PowerPoint presentations as well. Personally, I have a wonderfully supportive husband who has helped me every inch of the way and a beautiful daughter Nicole.
