Studio Maverick

Studio Maverick (a beefed-up former backyard horse stall turned Shedio) houses my 4x6 WhisperRoom.

I record with a Sennheiser 416 or MK4, Scarlet 2i2, Twisted Wave & Izotope RX 11 Standard, all powered by Mac.

Adorable dog not included. And he’s not chunky~~just needs a haircut.

About me…

Between acting roles, I played Sarah Connor in Terminator 2:3D The Battle Across Time, a live action stunt show at Universal Studios Hollywood. I belly-crawled through mud in wet fatigues at Boot Camp with Capt. Dale Dye (USMC), did 40 foot free rappels while wielding an AR-15 and saved the world from cyber destruction 10 times a day for 14 years. It added a dimension of grit to this conservatory-trained actor, who started her career in NYC working on soap operas and commercials and her nights in blackbox theaters.

When Director Dan Trachtenberg (Prey, Predator) wanted a bad-ass Sarah Connor-type for his Portal: No Escape short, his stunt coordinator suggested me. It became a viral Sci-Fi hit with over 28 million views.

Whether I’m playing Hedda Gabler in a NYC basement theater or a 6’6” Turian alien squad-mate in Mass Effect: Andromeda, I love my determined characters with complicated hearts. I hope you will too.

If you need me, I’ll be in my WhisperRoom, recording audiobooks in the never-ending Battle against AI.

My Current Audiobook Obsession

Saw the movie…twice…now it’s time for a re-listen.

"It's a guilty pleasure to steal 15 minutes from the day... and sit quietly listening to words I had forgotten, put through their paces, as they are so exquisitely acted. Thank you again."

Kind Words

Book cover titled 'A Skeleton in Bone Creek', part of 'A Nash Running Bear Mystery', with dark, misty landscape, leafless trees, flying crows, and a black braided hair with a leather band and embroidered patches on the right.

“You have a casual but precise style and this touch of whiskey and chocolate in your voice that I'm always a sucker for when I listen to books. Thank you so much for making me forget I wrote this piece and fall in love with it.”
