A nerd with a background in both sci-fi and musical theatre; she is also a wicked Dungeon Master and the newest member of The Seanachai Group—a motley gang of storytellers from Toronto Canada, founded by Rikki LaCoste, who is both a veteran narrator for StarShipSofa and an unrepentant nerd himself.
