LISA DANIELLE BUCH
ABOUT ME
Hi! I was born and raised in metro Detroit, Michigan. I've always had an interest in investigating the human experience and helping people. I swam competitively through high school, got my BA in Psychology and my MFA in Acting. I wrote and performed my one-woman show called SIMPLE MATH which premiered in NYC October of 2018. (fun fact: I have recently taught 5th grade math and high school algebra because TEACHER SHORTAGES!) I thrive in collaboration, am passionate about new work, and story telling as a way to inspire change, provide hope, or hold a mirror to ourselves. I love nearly all sports, and recently I've gotten into Disc Golf and competed in my first tournament!
