This brunette-comedian-with-bangs studied clown and musical theatre in college — this may explain her penchant for doing insane physical things on stage. Like playing possessed teen girls or spitting out food. Her passions include destigmatizing the feminine-presenting body, talking frankly about the grosser parts of the human experience, and utterly mocking the *hell* out of people in power. Most recently, she performed in "Brad Knows Nothing" at New York Musical Festival. She founded a 1960s style girl group named The Baguettes, featuring original songs like "Bensonhurst Christmas".She also teaches improv and storytelling with The Engaging Educator, and privately coaches public speaking.
