Kari Goetz

Kari Goetz lives a double life. By day, she is the VP of External Relations for The Florida Aquarium. By night she scurries around Tampa Bay in various creative capacities. She is thrilled to be back in her Jobsite home where she has been an artistic associate since 2002, when she moved to Tampa from Los Angeles, where she was a founding member of The Second City Hollywood. Goetz has directed and performed in numerous Jobsite productions, as well as Stageworks Theater. She holds a BFA in Theater Performance from the University of Florida, an MA in Communication from the University of South Florida and is an adjunct professor at Wayne State University where she teaches an MBA course in Improvisation for Business. She is an (almost) Florida native, and proud to be a member of the Athena Society, board member for Stageworks Theatre, the advisory board of Visit Tampa Bay, the community advisory board of USF Graphic Studio and is a long-time resident and enthusiast of Seminole Heights. She lives in a funky bungalow with her groovy husband, her righteous son, and a mess of pets.
