Always up for an adventure, and down for a nap, Izzy enjoys living life one-to-five opportunities at a time, indulging in belly dancing, sewing, baking, D&D, etc.

Eight years ago, a Cult of the Stage Monkey poster in UL’s halls reeled her in. She thought to herself “Cult? Sure, why not!” and has continued her love of improv with the Weaning Process and the Silverbacks.

Come see Izzy TONIGHT in Improvisational Fisticuffs at Cité des Arts!
