After getting my start as a child actor in San Diego, California, I spent seven years gaining business experience as the owner of a retail store before selling the company to begin Tawny Voice – an audio and entertainment company. ​

As an actor with over 25 years of experience, a professional voice-over artist, and an experienced business owner, I currently train the voice artists of tomorrow and manage the voice actors of today. Learn More Here ​

I’m also the creator of the Dirty Bits Podcast with my late husband and business partner George Platis. After he passed away on November 8, 2019, in our home, I coped with the trauma by turning our podcast into the show now known as Death Is Hilarious. The sarcastically titled podcast explores how I use comedy to cope with grief, trauma, and loss with the person who set me up with George, Sam Peterson.

Picture of Sam Peterson in the right half of a broken heart shape. They are wearing gold rimmed glasses and a brown sweater. They are smiling slightly. The outline of the shape is aqua in color.

I am an alien from outer space figuring out how to be a person. And I think everyone feels like that sometimes.

After getting my Computing & the Arts degree from UCSD, I spent a decade as an ADHD-preneur. This gave me mad skills in many life areas.

Above all, I’m a storyteller. I want to give my audience metaphors, little footholds to make the next steps mentally as we all sort out our own narratives. I am naive enough to like Earth, but real enough to see it has a lot of problems. I do my small part to help.
