More about you: (Short Bio or any other details you'd like people to know)

Background in Physical Education, gravitated to coaching with Australian Institute of Sport and Programs Management at Victorian Institute of Sport.

Improv remains a source of personal wonderment; something that needs to be utilised more widely in all aspects of life.
