With 20 years of teaching high school English under her belt, Caspari knows what it takes to relate to the students. A favorite among staff and students, Caspari keeps her classes engaged and informed with unique projects and lively lessons. She was the coach of both 48th St. Players Improv team and the Stand-Up team at her high school.

She takes pride in mentoring students, several of whom are now professional touring comedians themselves!
