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 13 years. I'm a regular UCB main stage performer (currently in the improvised movie show), I was on the Mess Hall team, Shimmy!, I'm on the long-running indie improv team/show, Carol's Poolhouse, and I hosted the UCB show, "Seminal Presents: Masters of Cinema!" for four years. And outside of improv, I've been a teacher and educator for over 17 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!
