About Me
My love of books began as a child. I was always the one with her nose stuck in a book. I had no idea at the time that the countless hours I spent reading out loud to my stuffed animals was practice for my future career. I spent 13 years as an elementary school teacher, where I continued to fall in love with bringing stories to life. I feel so lucky to have parlayed that love for stories and reading to children into a career as a narrator. I have been narrating full-time since July of 2022 and have 70+ titles completed between my own name and my romance pseudonym.
​
I spend my days reading amazing stories while drinking never-ending cups of coffee or my favorite tea... oh, and let's not forget the part where I talk to myself in a padded room! I love my hometown of Kansas City...the people, the food, and the prairie sunsets are just the very best.
​
When I'm not working on my latest audiobook, I enjoy chasing my 2 kiddos (and husband) around the park, running an occasional half-marathon, and cooking all the soups.
