Best Story
Even rote training has been made entertaining and engaging through technology. One of many stories I'd tell is my role in transforming one company's diversity/inclusiveness training program into an interactive video game. Employees had to navigate a not-so-distant future where cross-species gene splicing was commonplace and choose the appropriate responses to various scenarios. How tolerant would you be if your daughter brought home a half-human, half-cat partner? And could offering this individual a saucer of milk get you into trouble?
Origin Story
A dream deferred is not a dream denied. After a corporate career and time off to raise a family, I was ready to reinvent myself and pursue my lifelong passions for performing and writing. Together with my daughter, who was 11 at the time and shared my love of acting, we found a theatrical agent and our first jobs in various film projects. While my daughter moved on to other pursuits, I immersed myself in on camera and voiceover training, booked multiple productions, and grew my own client base. I am happiest telling stories on camera or behind the microphone, but I love coming full circle and bridging the worlds of business and entertainment.
