In 2011, Kristen took her first improv class in San Francisco. Today, she combines her professional background - a CPA immersed for a decade in boring presentation delivery - with improv concepts to bring you a more fun way to learn about public speaking. Her mission is to help other professionals do something better with their time in front of a group. When she's not on stage, Kristen spends time with her husband and identical twin sons, cooking, and petting her 16-pound cat.

About Us: Slide Deck Improv is on a quest to develop more effective business communicators. They do it by bringing together technical professionals, improv concepts, a mystery slide deck and a topic from the audience. Because they stretch participants to observe and try new skills, Slide Deck Improv is more fun, less scary and more impactful than traditional public speaking workshops. The result is confidence-building, skill enhancing and exceptionally fun.
