I am an aerialist specializing in spinning lyra (aerial hoop), but have worked across a range of aerial apparatuses, as well as partner acrobatics/dance, since I began my circus arts journey in 2012.
While aerial hoop remains my unabashed favorite, you can also happily find me on a dance/static trapeze, hammock, pole, or bungee/harness. As a tiny human, I am sometimes asked to be thrown, and more often than not, I will say yes.
I’ve trained and performed across four continents – including as a visiting aerial performer with Moya / Zip Zap Circus (South Africa), a teacher and performer at Helios School of Circus Arts (Mexico), a performer with Afreaka Aerials (UK), the cofounder of Aerial Hoop Retreat, and an ever-eager student under a patchwork of coaches and studios. I have also performed at various festivals and cabarets, in solo, duo, and trio acts.
I draw from a global, eclectic vocabulary, inspired by diverse movement traditions-- and an unhealthy addiction to circus Instagram. My resulting style favors contemporary choreography that emphasizes flow & musicality.
I also hold a BA from Stanford and an MPP from Oxford, and have previously held senior positions in tech startups... so I approach circus with the same level of organization, responsibility, and technicality.
