Name: Rachel Baumsten
Hometown: Gardena, CA

After a long break from improv, Rachel is thrilled to have found the ImprovCity family! Always a proud theatre kid, she found improv in high school as part of Ultimate Improv's Varsity League. After years of cheering her friends on from the audience, she later became a member of Comedy Kaze and competed in the OC Improv Cup. She is fortunate to pay the bills doing what she loves through her employment with Torrance Theatre Company and Camp Bravo. Because she isn't busy enough, Rachel is also the founder and Producing Artistic Director of The Collaboratory: A non profit that specializes in providing interactive and engaging assemblies and performances to schools, libraries, and community centers across Southern California.

Rachel thoroughly enjoys things that begin with the letter M including musicals, mermaids, and monarch butterflies.
