Storytelling with depth, warmth, and authenticity
These three samples offer a glimpse into the storytelling approach I developed for Timor-Leste’s National English Curriculum in joint project of the U.S. Embassy and the Ministry of Education. They accompany the Grade 7 student textbook which I authored, designed to support comprehension, engagement, and language learning.

With decades of experience as a performer, storyteller, and educator, I bring a deep passion for language, narrative, and communication to every project. My work spans documentary narration, eLearning, and character-driven performances—including storytelling and narration for an Academy Award-nominated short documentary.
My voice is smoky, warm, and confident, shaped by years on stage, on camera, in the classroom and behind the mic. Whether I’m crafting characters in an audiobook, narrating a documentary, guiding learners through complex ideas, or helping a brand tell its story, I aim for performances that feel natural, engaging, and real.
I approach every project as a collaboration—bringing the clarity, tone, and emotional truth that help your message connect. Drawing on my background in film, television, radio, and live performance—plus my experience as a theatre director, classroom teacher and public-speaking/storytelling coach —I know how to reach an audience and keep them listening.
Working from a broadcast-quality home studio, I deliver professional recordings with precision, warmth, and care—ready to elevate your story with authenticity and depth.
Your story deserves the right voice. Let’s bring it to life.
