Later, Wendy moved to the East Coast and used her communications skills to develop programs for the Washington National Cathedral, Brotman Winter Fried (event management and marketing), and various United States government agencies. While in these roles, Wendy produced multimedia resources to inform the public about health and safety topics, served as a spokesperson, and presented at exhibits.

Character work is another one of Wendy’s specialties. For over five years, she worked as a ventriloquist and puppeteer for the Lucky Stars Puppets Theatre, which she founded. Wendy traveled to Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., with her one-woman show, performing all voices and dialogue for a colorful cast of characters, portraying people of different ages, genders, and backgrounds, as well as animals, dragons, and fairytale icons. She engaged audiences and piqued imaginations, successfully animating each character and narrative with authenticity. Notably, her ventriloquist bird voice was so realistic that an invited young audience member, upon taking the puppet from Wendy to try it out for herself, asked, “Why did the bird stop talking?”

Wendy’s passion for using her voice inspired her to pursue a career in voice acting and voiceovers. She received training from several acclaimed experts in the voiceover industry, such as James Lewis of Talk Time Voiceovers and Glen Holtzer of Glen Holtzer Voice Over.
