Overview

Experienced Speaker, Educator, and Comedian. I can entertain, educate and motivate on a wide range of topics (life, love, education, faith, academia, wisdom, professionalism, students, parents, and summer camp). As a Navy Brat who lived and traveled all over the world, a HS teacher of over 23 years (ELA, English, Drama, Media Productions Misc), and college/graduate student for nearly 16 years (BA English, MEd English Education, EMT-I, Ed Leadership Education, and working on my Ph.D. in Language & Literacy Education with a focus on multi-modal literalness, specifically TV as text), and the medic for a boy scout camp in GA for seven summers, there is little I can't talk, joke, or encourage!

She was perfect!

Thank you Sandy, you had a tough crowd, yet you pulled it off, just lovely.
Fell in love with you Your act was time perfectly, meaning she stayed in the time that was set aside for her. The ladies enjoyed you.
Thanks again Denise

She was awesome

Super clever jokes-- I was laughing my head off! She was a very warm, tender, and kind person. She took care of her grandmother and so she performed at our senior living place free of charge. Excellent comedian; a sweet young lady.

Retirement home event

True Grit provided a comedy routine for a retirement community. She was warm, personable, and funny. The residents have asked for her to return!

FUNNY! Great for Your Corporate Event

True Grit provided a routine for our nurses to end our day with Laughter is the Best Medicine and she delivered. She communicated with us quickly and often before the event to make sure her material is what we were looking for. She tailored her routine to our group and theme. Her material is hilarious and we would recommend her for your event.
