Born and raised in Southern Vermont, in the United States, I started dancing at age 5 and fell in love with performing. When I was 9 I picked up juggling balls for the first time and within a year found my way up into the air, where I realized trapeze and Lyra were the places I felt most comfortable. I continued on to the New England Center for Circus Arts where I spent 5 years training aerial skills, strength and flexibility. I then moved to Boulder, Colorado, where I continued my academic studies, focusing on environmental studies and writing. I’m now a preschool teacher which has allowed me to explore my love of teaching and getting young minds inspired to learn and push themselves. My goal is to create a life with careers that fulfill my main passions in life, performing, writing and educating.
