Do you have any hobbies outside of improv?

Music, Acting, Reading & Rock Climbing

What drew you to improv?

I love connecting with people through humor, art, and music.

What makes a good scene in your opinion?

When all of your scene partners truly listen to each other and are committed to playing and having fun. It really translates well to both the audience and your fellow performers.

What's the most memorable moment you've had at Spitfire?

It was during my first short course class as I was trying to decide if I would sign up for the full semester. They went over failure and the importance of accepting it and having fun with it. I realized that learning to embrace failure was going to change my life as an artist and allowing myself to play again was what I really needed at the time.

How would you explain Spitfire shows to someone who's never been?

An adventure.

How would you describe the Spitfire community in 5 words or less?

Also an adventure.
