Emily Busbee
Operations Manager
As a young graduate seeking new horizons, Emily was accepted into Global Citizen Year and spent 7 months in Ecuador, learning Spanish and volunteering at a rural health clinic full time. She lived with an indigenous Kichwa family in the Amazon rainforest and drank in the sights and sounds of nature. Upon returning to the States, she moved to the frenetic, beating heart of Berkeley, CA and met the love of her life while working in a local coffee shop. After managing a 120 unit apartment for nearly five years, they were ready for a change of pace and scenery. She’s now enjoying the best of both worlds in the Arkansas with her husband, Jazz, and their adorable rescue puppies, Pickles and Piper.

Jerrilee Geist
Director of Production
Jerrilee Geist has been working with Pro Audio Voices since 2015, as a Narrator, Editor, Casting Director, Director of Production, and now focused on Pre-Production & Special Projects. With a background of 18 years in theatre and training at the Guildford School of Acting, she continues to enjoy working with an amazing team of artists to make great audiobooks. Titles that she has recently narrated include The Nine Lives and Times of Mr. Hyde, Excursion to Mars, The World Codex: Special Edition, and The Last Incarnation. Jerrilee has also worked extensively with Chaucer Theatre and the American Conservatory Theatre. “I believe deeply in the power of words, the art of story-telling, to transform hearts. Most of us still turn to books to uncover learned skills and secrets of those who have come before, or to sink us deep into our own skin to learn through imagination. And, hopefully, we can come out on the other side a little changed, a little more ready to participate with strength and eagerness in this fantastic world of ours.”
