Tayler

JOINED THE IMPROV PROJECT: 2022 

IMPROV TRAINING: Cass Tech and Wayne State University

WHY I TEACH IMPROV: “All children deserve to awaken their inner-creative and be celebrated for it. I love to see them discover new things about themselves, the people around them, and the world…and to know they are active participants in the reality that they create.”
