Shira Wilson plays characters who are fiercely protective, often speak before they think and are a little bit neurotic. She is your reluctant leader,keyboard social justice warrior, quirky romantic, or jaded young mom. She exudes the confident awkwardness of Kristin Wiig coupled with the dry brashness of Katherine Hahn resulting in characters that may feel insecure about their own strength but are going to take up space nonetheless. She loves animals, chocolate and pop culture, and is fully vaccinated.
