I’ve always enjoyed using my voice and talking is a skill I’ve been very good at from a young age. If you asked any of my teachers at school I’m sure they’d agree!

I’ve always loved performing and I was inspired from a young age by my grandfather who was a wonderful actor. So it wasn’t a surprise when I went off to Drama School to pursue my dreams.

I got into voiceover work through acting.


I absolutely love being a voiceover artist and I enjoy working with my clients to bring their words to life. It’s so wonderful being part of fantastic projects and the voice is often such an important part. Being the voice that sells a product, conveys important information, engages and entertains the listener. I feel incredibly lucky to have a job I truly love and some amazing clients too.

While at Drama school I had a fantastic teacher who encouraged me to look into the world of voiceovers. So after leaving I decided to give it a go and I haven’t looked back. The first time I stepped in front of the mic I knew this was the job for me. One of my early voiceover gigs was the Virgin Media job I still do today! I also have a background in singing which helps me understand pitch, rhythm and variation in tone.
