History
Improv is for everyone. I truly believe it's the prune juice for the soul. It keeps us present. It frees our inhibitions. The benefits are endless. Most of all, it's fun! From the curious accountant to the rising actor to the dedicated mother, I developed Held2gether to encourage people of all worlds to express their own spontaneous, creative talents through the joy of improv comedy. Discovering a void of Improv opportunities in my beloved home of Long Beach, I began teaching Improv Workshops through the city's Parks and Rec Department. I was so inspired to see people from all backgrounds benefiting from the life skills learned in improv comedy, I created Held2gether to expand that joy teaching workshops at corporations, schools, self-enhancement retreats, and as a private coach. My approach focuses on channeling creativity from a place of strength and encouragement.
