BIOGRAPHY

Hello! I am a variety artist specializing in aerial arts, dance, acting, and prop manipulation, and I have been practicing acrobatics for the past 4 years. As a performer, my focus is on an exchange of energy to the audience, whether visual, verbal, or emotional- I aim to use movement and choreography to invoke a feeling from viewers. 

In a production, I also aim to fulfill the role of the character I'm playing authentically. I also pride myself on my willingness to learn and be constructively critiqued. A professor once said I had "an insatiable appetite for learning."
