Hello! I am in search of a better world through improv! I teach and perform in San Diego and wherever else anybody will let me. I love to travel and go on improv adventures and make new friends all over the world.

Working with vulnerability in improv is my fave. I enjoy helping students and performers find honesty in the things they often dislike about themselves and find better connections to each other.

I’ve taught this vulnerable workshop in San Diego, Phoenix, Orange County, New Hampshire, Nottingham, UK for Camp Improv Utopia and Improv Fest Ireland. If you’d like to know more about my vulnerable workshop and what folks say about it, check out the tab on Vanessa’s Vulnerable Improv Workout.

I love to dance like a dork and pet all of your dogs. I’ve worked in HR for over a decade. I like music. I do yoga at home. This is my site. Welcome!
