I started dancing when I was three, following in the footsteps of my two older sisters. I studied dance in college, earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in Dance from Muhlenberg College in 2017. Over the years I have trained in many styles, but my focus now is on modern, contemporary, and jazz.
In 2014 I was part of a circus show at Muhlenberg, the first of its kind there. I started out performing as a dancer and it eventually lead me to taking aerial classes. I’ve trained in silks, sling, dance trapeze, Lyra, rope, and straps; I am always ready to learn as much as I can on any apparatus.
Since being in the performing world for over twenty years, I have started questioning what I want out of being a performer. I realized that there is so much more my body can do than I am currently allowing it. With more strength and flexibility training, and more creative play, I want to discover everything that I can do with my moving body, on the ground, and in the air. I aim to keep this exploration going for as long as I continue dancing and doing aerial, which is hopefully for a very long time.
