Upon graduating from UCONN (Go Huskies!), Shirley took the road most traveled to New York City and enjoyed various odd jobs such as a waitress at the Empire State Building, receptionist at 20th Century Fox, cocktail waitress at the popular disco Visage. Her honeymoon drive cross country ended with them landing in Hollywood and, within a week, Shirley found herself managing her building, winning 15K on Wheel of Fortune and studying with the great Michael Shurtleff. Since then she has continued to work across the board, enjoying every minute. After discovering VOs, Shirley is now known for being the voice of Tanya, former veterinarian turned forensic specialist, the consummate lover/hater of all things zombie in We're Alive, a multi-award winning audio podcast with over 200 million downloads worldwide.
