About Renée

She is a SOVAS award-winning narrator of over 250 titles that Audiofile magazine has praised for “perfectly projecting character”. She has recorded with such publishers as Macmillan, Recorded Books, Dreamscape, Tantor, Audible, Podium, Highbridge, Brilliance, Blunder Woman, and Blue Nose.
Renée is a founding member of RomanceNarrators.com (pseudonym available on request), and an original narrator ambassador for the Audio Publishers Association. Narrating for best-selling authors such as Sara Shepard and Mary Downing Hahn, her youthful, vibrant sound is perfect for young adult titles and cozy mysteries, but she loves narrating all genres.
In the world of non-fiction, she brings her degree in Ecology, Behavior and Evolution to complex biological and scientific subjects. Her years as an environmental consultant in the construction field give her insight into the challenges of women forging a path in the world of business and industry. She brings a personal perspective to material tackling the struggles, accomplishments, and perspective of creative neurodivergent artists.
In the midst of writing her third novel, Renée has a deep respect and understanding of the author’s craft, character and structure. She enjoys hiking, kayaking, and camping near her home in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains in northern California.
