About Me
Although it’s seemingly easier to brag about oneself when writing in third person, let us not pretend someone impressed by my life wrote the following biography:
I am an anomaly like everyone else. I was an artsy-thus-mediocre-academic throughout my educational career, miraculously securing a bachelor of arts in music from Loyola Marymount University after transferring from Emerson College and switching majors three times. After being financially cut-off by my parental non-unioned-unit, I worked for music managers Staci Slater (Presidents of the United States of America, Concrete Blonde), John Hartmann (Crosby, Stills & Nash, The Eagles) and Elliot Roberts (Neil Young, Ric Ocasek). I then made an impressive lateral career move to IGA/Universal Records and quit (before getting fired) to vocally hock consumer products via pithy jingles. Sprinkled throughout those years, I took on other ridiculously unsuited jobs, all of which confirmed I would merely rather stay home and watch television.
While procrastinating my plumage, I was introduced to improv comedy, which was reminiscent of my childhood-to-teenage years in musical theatre…just with less “fabulousness”. After training at The Groundlings & Second City Los Angeles and performing with various improv troupes, my husband and I moved to Tennessee where I co-founded (and reign Managing Director of) The Improv Nashville Comedy Theater, for which we won multiple “Best of Nashville” awards. A few years into that endeavor, I began writing on numerous sketch shows and television pilots, semi-throwing in the towel on my humor memoir, becoming a Contributing Writer for Nashville PAW magazine, comedy writing for A Guitar & A Pen Radio Show and performing stand-up “around”.
I have been married 11 years to my husband Mark [insert gratuitous clapping] and I have three perfect children that walk on all fours and bark. I also fancy myself a runner, protest the under-appreciation of Pete’s Dragon and do not eat anything with a face.
