Hi there! I'd love to coach your improv team or practice group and help you develop your own unique style.

I've been studying and performing improv for over 15 years. I'm a regular UCB main stage performer, I'm on the Lloyd team, Freak Trap, and I was on the UCB Mess Hall team, Shimmy! I'm also on the long-running indie improv team/show, Carol's Poolhouse, and the indie teams, Doogie Trouser and Scram. And outside of improv, I've been an educator for 20 years.

I like to focus on grounded, realistic scene work that builds a foundation for imaginative exploration and following the fun, helping you to find your specific comedic voice. If it's not fun, then why are we even doing this?! Together let's find the forms and structures that best fit your team/group, and become playful masters of those forms. See ya around!
