Reliable, talented, and fun to work with.

Performing

Never an ingenue and often a goofball, I've performed on a stage, in front of a camera, behind a microphone, in a hospital bed, under a tent, atop the armoire in a rural police chief's office, in 5.6 million living rooms, and backstage at a Phil Collins concert.

Wordsmithing

Whether you adhere to the Chicago Manual of Style, AP style, have a customized manual, or have no idea what I'm talking about, I'll follow the standards you've already established or help you create them.

Work

Performing Artist

1987 - Present

My strongest expertise is in improvisational acting, both comedic and dramatic. After performing improvisational comedy professionally for two decades, I shifted my attention to reality-based training for law enforcement, medical personnel, and social workers. I have also done thousands of voiceovers, been the featured actor in numerous commercials and industrials, done several scripted plays, and I can belt a song.

Freelance Wordsmith

2011 - Present

My work with words includes writing, editing, and proofreading for clients in myriad fields, including insurance, travel, nonprofits, philanthropy, counseling, leadership consultancy, consumer sales, B2B sales, and more. I have also written original comedy shows that included original songs and song parodies.
