Actor/Narrator
It's 2026 and I'm behind!
2/9/2026
This is a quick update (since January) with additions only to the theatre section, as we just opened our show!!!!!!!!!! And I'm tired and a little lazy, so I took a couple of screenshots from Instagram instead of contacting the source for an original. . .who has time for that???
​
ANYWAY, the rest of my news is, so far, the same since last month, because, did I mentioned we opened our show???
​**************************************************************************************************
2025 was actually a good year for me professionally. I worked with 3 new audiobook producers (2 of the books released last year), I worked on my first full-run play since 2019 (complete with full stage combat scenes; hand-to-hand and my first knife fight!), booked a commercial, and was cast in my current play due to being seen in the first. Soon the cold will be gone, so I can reach out for more audiobook work, but meanwhile I'll be escaping into my role as the magician, Alcandre!​​​​​
Audiobook NEWS:
They're Not Gaslighting You by Dr. Isabelle Morley was added to Audible's 2025 Audiobook Trends list! It was my first book with Podium Entertainment. I learned so much about therapy terms--and the subsequent misuse of those terms. It was interesting and relatable; right up my alley as a narrator!

In December, I was cast in my first audiobook work with Punch Audio. I believe he found me through some of my samples on ACX, but I was so glad he did-- it was another non-fiction. It initially had me a little apprehensive due to the content, which I'll reveal when it's released, but in the end, I was honored to work on it with my fellow narrators (Alex Hyde-White from Punch Audio and Braden Wright). I hope it finds it's way to Gen Z's ears. . .​​
​Theatre NEWS:​
As mentioned above, we opened our show!!!!! I am so delighted and grateful to be cast in the role of Alcandre with Forest Theatre Company, in The Illusion, by Tony Kushner. We had such a wonderful response opening weekend; it reminded me why I still pursue theatre.
TV/FILM NEWS:
In October, I landed a role in a commercial with O'Connor Casting. It was fast and furious, but the timing couldn't have been better. I took an awesome workshop through Forge Film Acting; John Pirruccello was delightful in his honest approach to the class, relaxed me with stories from his own experience, and encouraged us to pursue our "art" above all else-- something I've concluded as well, as I get older in this industry. Do the best with what you can control and keep doing you.​​​
Hope this finds you gulping down a tasty,
new-found beverage for the new year!
