ABOUT ME

I am a Chicago based voice actor, singer, and artist with a BFA in Musical Theatre from Roosevelt University’s Chicago College of Performing Arts. As a voice actor represented by Big Mouth Talent and a resident voice actor with MarchingOrder since 2020, I have voiced over 100 graduations for schools across the US since commencements went digital during the Covid-19 pandemic. I’ve worked with ad agencies like Octane Rich Media, gyro, Leo Burnett, and MullenLowe, and have voiced commercials for Merz, Walgreens, Chicago ENT, Stevens Institute of Technology, and more. You can listen to my audiobook debut, As the Sycamore Grows by Jennie Miller Helderman: now on Audible!

I am a visual artist with a background in scenic paint and design, I painted the impressionist set for the New York Finger Lake Opera’s production of La Bohème, and have two featured murals inside the Chicago bar and restaurant, Port & Park Bistro. You can email for commissions or you can buy my prints over at www.etsy.com/shop/KLHprints

Along with theatre and art, I am a mother to my tabby cat, Olie!
