This is his first time as a part of the SpiritLive blog and can’t wait to get started!
Jacqueline Soave
Jacqueline is a second year RTA media production student. She is passionate about cartoons and comedy, with specifically comedy cartoons being her favourite. She lives in Kensington market but comes from New York City. She came to Toronto to explore the arts of screenwriting, comedy, and production. Her dream is to share her love for comedy to audiences, and ultimately make people laugh. Jacqueline love the beauty of a story, and where it can take us and what we can learn from it. Especially if it makes her laugh on the journey.

Jeremy Hardwood
Jeremy is a second year media production student from Ottawa who is interested in sports, comedy and music. On a weekend you might expect him to be working or partying, but he is more likely to be going down a wikipedia rabbit hole or making horrible financial decisions. Jeremy has always had a love for TV and movies. If he was stuck on a deserted island with only one show to watch it would most likely be Arrested Development. At home he has a weird looking dog named Vanessa but he loves her nonetheless. Jeremy is very excited to join the Spirit Live team and hopes his blogs can get a couple laughs out of his readers.
