When I was eleven, I asked my mother to show me a magic trick I could perform in front of my fifth grade class.

She didn’t know any magic… 😥 so she grabbed an old cassette tape, a couple skit books, sat me down, and taught me—you guessed it—ventriloquism.

I went from memorizing short skits from those books, into writing my own material, and creating new characters. I LOVED creating life in this unique art form, especially when it brought so much joy to those who watched.

I decided to pursue ventriloquism as a profession because I believe that it can be very impactful to my audiences. When our world is continually throwing things at us that are meant to divide us, we can still come together and laugh about the little things. My favorite thing about what I do is actually seeing diverse audiences laugh like we are all children again!

When I’m not performing, I can often be found in my Tiny House playing with my two kitties, making art of some kind, or baking. Otherwise, my husband and I love to get out and explore the world—whether it’s hiking, biking, roller-skating, or driving to a new city to learn about historic downtown—because we love adventure!
