Hobbies

I am an absolute book worm (I own roughly 500 books--you should see how crowded my apartment is!) and enjoy all types of reading though my favorites are certainly classical literature, poetry, and sci-fi. As a student I was often the class clown who still managed to get all the work done on time creating a fun yet focused environment for students and teachers alike. I have been a writer and an actor all my life and enjoy all forms of comedy although by trade and specialization, I am an Improviser. I am ready to tackle any challenge with my sleeves rolled up and a fiber of curiosity.
