Voice Actor | Teacher | Storyteller

*All creature voices are RAW without effects or use of A/I

Once upon a time... As a creator and dreamer, I've always loved this phrase. During my first theatrical directorial debut in San Diego, CA I was gifted a beautiful, bespoke character created by a Japanese calligrapher & artist that encapsulated the meaning of this phrase. Since then, it's been not just a symbol on paper but also my view on life - every opportunity is a new story to tell.

As a child, I loved watching cartoons with my Japanese grandmother. She introduced me to my favorite childhood animated film - My Neighbor Totoro. I suppose my love for voices and characters started there, and it transitioned into playtime with Barbies with unique voices and accents!At the ripe old age of 9, I did my first theatrical production as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz and I never looked back! I've been performing on stage ever since and went on to get my MFA in Physical Theatre performance. I'm fortunate to have had the opportunity to perform in the US, UK, Italy, Germany, and Czechia.Since diving into voice acting, I'm enjoying making connections all over the world. I'm also excited to connect more with my Japanese heritage by giving a voice to characters who authentically represent my experience. I have had the honor of voicing in a variety of projects and genres, in many different accents and age ranges.Outside of voice acting, I spent the last 9 years living in Italy where I taught theatre and English at a private language school. In my downtime, I enjoy practicing Italian with my cats who are surely bilingual by now, studying Japanese and becoming a better knitter and artist!
