I have a passion for improv, because it has changed my life.  We are lucky to have an amazing improv community in the Twin Cities, which has allowed me to meet awesome improvisors and take classes with teachers from around the world.  I am a committed teacher, performer and student.  In my 10 years in the classroom, and  20 years in education, I have applied improv techniques in my lessons with great results.

​

In my many years of teaching improv, I have learned anyone can benefit from improv, no matter their abilities.  I have taught all levels and abilities of students and seen amazing transformations.

​

My background is in teaching, curriculum development, human resources, training and development and project management.  My degrees are in Communications from Winona State University and a Masters from the University of St. Thomas.  

I continue to actively work on my own skills as an improviser and performer.  I am involved in a duo, Community Ed, we have performed at Two Friends, New Orleans improv Festival Green Bay Improv Festival and Omaha Improv Festival multiple times as well as locations all over the Twin Cities. HUGE Theater, Honey's, Bryant Lake Bowl, I have also produced a monthly improv show called Dynamic Duos at Dreamland Arts and produced and performed shows at Bryant Lake Bowl called Community Ed with a Side of Just Nancee.  We have performed for Fearless Comedy, as well as performing for private events.   I also play in other improv groups, Cursed and Amy Presents...  I am located in St. Paul, Minnesota.
