Back in College, I bombed my first audition. Really, really badly. Mostly because I had been practicing public speaking since I was 5 years old alongside my Mother at various shelters, so I thought I should naturally be good at this. 

Never "should" yourself, folks.

So, I did what my parents taught me to do: go study, practice it, and get better at it. After 3 years, I finally made it onto my college Improv team, and my learning did not stop there. I pursued a degree in Improvisation from Improv Boston, and then began traveling all through out Massachussets, learning how to teach this skillset on a much larger scale. 

Throughout this journey, the one thing that has stuck with me through this entire process is that I love this concept of working with mistakes. This mindset that you don't need to tell people you made an error: work with the mistake. Listen, adjust, and make the mistake a part of your story.

Now, as a teacher at Improv Asylum in the North End, and on a global level, my goal is to teach students and professional sports teams how to listen in the moment and adapt on the fly.
