What are your passions? I love entertaining people whether that's making them laugh on an improv stage or scaring them in interactive horror theater. I'm also very passionate about intersectional justice, and in this moment trying to think about how entertainment can further such causes.

What do you do / what are you working on? Dreaming about when we can gather in shared spaces & sculpting little clay figures, so that's fun!

If money was no object what would you be doing? I'd be living in a small cabin off the grid in the middle of nowhere with a huge garden.

Someone / something that changed your life: Adopting my cat Bim. He's the first pet I've had on my own and he definitely hasn't been an easy friend these past five years. Behavioral problems on behavioral problems. But he's taught me that sometimes building relationships takes a long long time, patience and care are seldom without their rewards. Caring for a little critter is a commitment that can be challenging, but it's definitely a commitment that you can do. When one tactic doesn't work, there are ten more to try!

What’s the best piece of advice that someone has given you? My mom has always told me not to take anything personally. That's a hard one, but it's advice that applies to every sector of life. That and not to go outside in low temperatures with wet hair because I'll catch a cold... very helpful!

What are you reading/listening to/watching right now? I'm currently reading Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado and listening to the Newcomers: Lord of the Rings podcast where two comedians watch Lord of the Rings for the first time.

Something people don’t know about your pet: My cat Bim loves to go for walks around my apartment building and runs to the backdoor excitedly when he sees me get out his harness.
