She grew up traveling with the Caravan Stage Company, town to town by horse and wagon, and later worked extensively with the Caravan Farm Theatre. Familialy she comes from a long line of compassionate, opinionated, active and funny lefties. These experiences provided her with a rich cache of stories, and some discomfort with stasis and classism. She is constantly searching for the new, inclusive and stimulating both personally and professionally. Ultimately she believes that funny trumps everything.
