~Summer on Set~
Wrapped another season of @impracticaljokersofficial back in August with my favorite crew 🗽💛
So grateful for any chance to work with the show that four seasons in, feels like family - especially this Summer in particular. I can’t wait to tell my little guy about the time I was pregnant and we recreated @salvulcano ‘s teen bedroom, crashed a wedding, sent @bqquinn back in time or to the future - still unclear and hung @therealmurr from the @empirestatebldg

That’s a wrap on Season 13 of Impractical Jokers! And I don’t know if you heard but we hung Murr from the Empire State Building dressed as a mop. But what we also did was some crazy licensing deals and produced an entire album of music. We built time machines and fake newspaper headlines and designed costumes that looked like Parliament Funkadelic. There are so many more fun things I can’t tell you about yet so there will definitely be a part two of this in the second half of the season.

Getting to produce the creative for this season was so, so fun and I could not have done it without my pillars - @danielcast7, @jameskilmoon and @damianimike . They kept it calm and focused as we navigated a wild and ever-changing production schedule.

I was constantly in awe of the way art, wardrobe, producing team, location and hair and make-up elevated the show day after day, seamlessly moving between recreating Sal’s bedroom, a Time Machine and 🔥an office chair with a hidden hot plate🔥without missing a beat.

And as always a massive thanks to @bqquinn @therealmurr and @salvulcano for literally and figuratively putting themselves out there every day. It comes from the top and they’re the ones who make the show so much fun behind and in front of the camera.

Most of all though, I’m going to miss the writers group chat and being in awe of all the fun, insane things their brains come up with. @caseyjost @si_badboy @johnszeluga @jls5316 @mol_iver @jameskilmoon

Ps can’t wait for you to see the real rockstars this season - Buddy and Moose.

if I had a blimp to describe the jobs I worked in 2025 it would say “good year” in big yellow letters

Behind the scenes, 2025 🎥 Turns out I almost never take photos on set. This was one of my busiest years yet, so I eagerly went through my camera roll to collect shots of my personal projects and all of the sets, props, and graphics that I’ve made this year. Instead I found a realization. My work photos almost exclusively consist of notes, receipts, QR codes for parking garages, and reset photos- aka the filming locations as I found them, before we design, build, and shoot. The few snippets I did manage to capture this year were some of the moments in between. I didn’t realize the only memories I chose to save all happened between “cut” and “action,” or being silly on a scout before we’re whisked away to the next location. These are the moments I usually forget, and so I’m grateful to find that I subconsciously documented them.

Despite the smiles, I want to be completely honest. My life is not glamorous. Here’s what’s not pictured: sweat, tears, 10-15 hour days, weekend shoots, feelings of doubt, worrying about failure, coming home and staring at a wall for an hour out of pure exhaustion, then waking up at 4am to do it all over again.

My goal in 2026 is to save more of the fun and playful moments that remind me why I love this industry and the people who make me laugh every day.

Yeah and maybe I’ll also take pics of my work or whatever.

A wrap on Season 12 of Impractical Jokers! This has been one of the most fun, bonkers, freeing, and rewarding experiences of my life. To take an uptight, control freak, network-side producer and put her into the chaos of a hidden camera show ended up being an incredible exercise of being in the moment and rolling with the punches. This established crew took me in and made me feel like part of the family long before our 6 months together ended.

Thanks to @bqquinn & @salvulcano for advocating for me, @colekweber & @jmarieahee for being the best bosses and role models throughout this season and @emsalvoni for being a partner and desk mate I could only have dreamed up. I look forward to the day our team’s emails and group texts are read in a court of law. Lastly, thanks to @erx11 for leaving me the biggest shoes to fill - 11 years later….and believing in fiancé nepotism.

Can’t wait for you all to discover how @emsalvoni & I got the nickname “Mothers of Leeches”!

I owe these guys everything.

In 2016 I was a kid from Wisconsin, new to New York, looking for a chance. Nearly a decade later—I can’t believe we just wrapped on Season 12. With countless memories, lifelong friends, crazy stories, long nights, and probably the weirdest camera roll in the industry, here are some of my faves from the past year.

Thank you for letting me be part of the IJ fam. It’s become so much more than a job, and I’m forever grateful.

No before or afters here, just a really soft short cut and neckline appreciation post. Nothing feels better than taking off a couple of inches from a curly hairline, especially in the summer! Link in bio to book✨

I have no good photos from this year, so I’m commemorating spooky season with what we got up to last year instead.
