I’m an All-American Southern girl, born and raised in Tennessee — a tennis-playing, book-loving, movie-watching, musical-theater-and-show-choir kind of girl. I’ve always had a love for performance and creativity, but also a fierce competitive streak. (Yes, I can throw a perfect spiral — every proper girl should.)

I’m a proud University of Tennessee alum and huge sports fan where I studied Political Science and Broadcasting. I am a huge sports fan – Go Vols! (Every proper girl should learn to throw a perfect spiral football) After college, I moved to Nashville and spent the majority of my early career working in the non-profit sector, primarily with the American Heart Association.

As the Youth Market Director for the state of Tennessee, I was deeply passionate about creating change — focusing on childhood obesity, nutrition, and physical activity. It was work that mattered, and I’m grateful for the years I spent advocating for healthier communities.

But while I excelled in school and my nonprofit career, I’ve always had the soul of a performer. From my earliest days on stage in musicals and show choir, to my lifelong love of music (of all kinds), that creative fire never faded. Now, as an audiobook narrator, I get to channel all of that passion — for performance, for stories, for connection — into every book I voice.
