E.K. comes from a family of creatives—her brother is a musician with dreams of becoming a film composer, her sister has a degree in graphic design and enjoys creating webcomics, and her parents both hold degrees in music. In her free time, E.K. enjoys hanging out with family and friends, reading and watching compelling stories, and adding to her various collections. She currently resides in Kansas with her dog, Nikki.
E.K. has also attended a voice acting expo at the School of Voiceover in Minnesota. When asked about her experience, she said, “It’s probably the craziest thing I’ve ever done, but I don’t regret it for a second. After learning about my disorder, I wanted to push boundaries. I had discovered through working at the church a passion for hearing my voice and knowing it’s being heard. I wanted that feeling of purpose back. That’s when I decided to pursue voiceover work. I’d been told I had a great voice on the rare occasions when I used it, and I wanted to be able to put that voice to use.” E.K. is currently taking a break from this pursuit while her teeth are being corrected but is slowly beginning to lean back into this new role.
