I am associated with Voice Talent Productions in New York, and am a member of its Voice Talent Cares program, which provides pro bono voice services to not-for-profit charitable organizations in need.

I am a trained paralegal and have provided voice and legal support for 20 years for the legal industry, primarily in Florida medical malpractice law and civil litigation. I have extensive trial experience including preparation of demonstrative aids.

I have extensive computer, web design and web development skills and am a huge fan of open source projects like Apache, UNIX, Firefox, Wordpress, PHP, and Ruby.

I have advanced writing skills and edited the first draft of an MLA award-winning non-fiction book, "Cybering Democracy: Public Space and the Internet," written by Dr. Diana Saco, an independent scholar in political theory and international relations.

I have many interests and can become deeply obsessed in new things for at least a few hours, which makes me perfect for voice over.
