Inside the Studio
Broadcast-quality audio, designed for excellence.
My home Source-Connect studio is built for precision and professionalism, ensuring every project sounds polished, clear, and ready for production. Equipped with a Neumann TLM 102 microphone, an Audio-Technica AT875R Condenser microphone, a Solid State Logic SSL 2+ interface, and Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro studio headphones, I capture every detail with unmatched clarity.
With tools like Teams, Google Meet and Zoom, you can even join me remotely during recording sessions for real-time collaboration and feedback, making the process seamless and efficient.
My Path To Voice Over Isn’t the Usual Story
I started as a musician, fascinated by the power of the voice to convey emotion and meaning. That path took me into education, where I communicated intricate ideas to students of all ages in ways that truly engage.
I have a natural affinity for languages and accents, shaped by my time living in Italy and Israel as well as in many different regions within the United States. These experiences have deepened my appreciation for the power of clear communication and the importance of understanding and connection.
Collaboration is at the heart of my work, and bringing your vision to life is my passion. For me, it’s not about “performing” a script—it’s about understanding and conveying your message in a way that is genuine, resonant, and true to its essence.

When I discovered the term “multipotentialite” I felt like it was created for me.
It describes people with diverse skills, interests, and creative purposes who thrive by drawing on three key strengths:
Idea synthesis—connecting knowledge from different fields to create something new.
Rapid learning—diving into new challenges and mastering them quickly.
Adaptability—excelling in varied roles and environments.
From Educator to Voice Artist
I received my Bachelor of Music Education with high honors, summa cum laude, from The Ohio State University, where I studied classical singing through aria and art song, specializing in choral conducting. I went on to earn my Master of Sacred Music and Cantorial Ordination from the Debbie Friedman School of Sacred Music at Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion.
My voice is featured in synagogue musical projects like A Sanctuary in Time: Erev Shabbat at Congregation Beth Am, which I produced and directed. I’m also featured in A Collection of Soulful Jewish Melodies: Nigun Anthology — Volume I (Transcontinental Music Publications) and in a cameo on Shifreles Portret: A Yiddish Art Song Project.
In addition to being a voice artist who has performed in Europe, Asia, and throughout North America, I’m the founder, owner, and instructor at The Studio: Private Music Lessons, L.L.C., in the historic German Village neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio, where I have the joy of running a thriving studio.
I am also the co-creator and performer of Love’s Journey, a one-woman show featuring musical theatre and American standards, sharing the story of a woman’s journey through life and love.
I trained in chaplaincy at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan and completed a residency with OhioHealth in Columbus, OH, earning four full Clinical Pastoral Education units as well as certification as a Spiritual Care Provider.
I’m proud to serve as cantor of Congregation Kol Haverim in Glastonbury, CT, leading High Holy Day services and select B’nei Mitzvah and Shabbat services throughout the year.
I’m a member of the American Conference of Cantors (ACC) where I served as an Executive Board member, chaired the ACC Ethics Committee and co-chaired the ACC-GTM Convention in Israel.
I believe in the power of community and giving back, which is why I volunteer for Village Connections, a local organization that helps senior neighbors stay connected, active and independent. I also serve as an Emotional Support Provider and Critical Incident Responder for a large hospital system in Columbus, supporting the people whose life’s mission is to care for others.
When I’m not in my studio, you can find me traveling, appreciating the beauty of nature on a hike or on my paddleboard, or enjoying good food and drink with family and friends.
