About Me
In the past several years, Cari has hunted Jack the Ripper, butled in a Play that went Wrong, and pirated on the waters off the coast of Boston, among other theatrical adventures. Cari's 14 years of classical dance training often comes in handy onstage, as does her recent SAFD certification in stage combat.
By night an avid thespian, by day Cari is an English professor. She particularly enjoys teaching and studying fairy tales, adaptations across American media, and how stage combat contributes to narratives.

SAFD certification
Summer 2024
This summer, I had the pleasure and honor of attending the 3-week SAFD (Society of American Fight Directors) actor combatant training workshop in Ruston, LA.
I studied 30 hours of two-handed sword, 30 hours of rapier & dagger, 30 hours of unarmed combat, as well as a splash (about 15 hours) of knife with some of the best (and loveliest) people in the business. And I'm pleased to report that I passed my tests and am now a certified Actor Combatant with SAFD!
