Beaver Reflections:
When I started school at Beaver in 1977, the school had just recently turned co-ed. When I was at Beaver, I participated in the Drama Club after school. Beaver was known for its arts and I really fell in love with acting in high school. I started out in smaller rolls in the performances but got more involved with theater and became president my senior year. Beaver’s appreciation for the arts inspired me to get involved in both music and theater which had significant impacts on my life and career.

What is #happeningnow in your life:
Currently, I am living in Los Angeles working as a voice actor. In the beginning of my career, I was involved with radio and did voice acting on the side. I soon realized voice acting would be a more successful career for me. I do voice overs for commercials, TV shows, and movies.

“I like the anonymity of being a voice actor. You don’t have to look great going to work everyday, it’s just about how the voice sounds.”
