I am an aerialist, coach, and dancer. I perform on straps, dance trapeze, aerial silks, aerial hoop, chains, hammock, bungee, and harness, as well as custom-designed apparatuses.

I am currently based in NY and work as a freelance aerialist. I have worked at Company XIV, The Box NYC, The Slipper Room, Duane Park, Red Pavilion, Silo Brooklyn, House of Yes, and The Muse. I also perform corporate gigs and weddings.

I currently teach aerial privates at Cirque Haus and have taught at Vital Climbing Gym, Body and Pole, and The Muse Brooklyn. I have also taught ballet, modern, jazz, and aerial to children and adults.

I graduated from NYU with a BFA in Dance and a BA in English, and I am a NASM-Certified Personal Trainer specializing in virtual personal training.

I have traveled the world performing as an aerialist/dancer for cruise-ships, theme-parks, national and international tours.

I worked for Royal Caribbean Productions where I travelled around Central and South America, the Mediterranean, Asia, and Australia (2014-2016). I performed at Six Flags NJ (2019). I worked for Cirque Dreams performing the role of Mrs. Claus in the Holidaze U.S. and Canada tour (2016). I was a featured dancer/acrobat in Roll Out the Barrel at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia (2015), and toured international dance festivals in Burkina Faso with RudduR Dance (2015). I was on France’s Got Talent in 2023.

I have performed with dance companies in New York including Grounded Aerial (and was also the Assistant Choreographer for this company), Racoco Productions, Timelapse Dance, and General Mischief Dance Theater. I performed a wide range of dance forms including contemporary, musical theater style jazz, experimental dance-theater, ballet, and ballroom at venues such as Broadway Bares, Roseland Theater, Studio 54, Paramount Hotel, Ailey Citigroup Theater, Joyce Soho, Danspace Project, Vassar College and La Mama in New York as well as and the Spring of Culture Festival in Manama, Bahrain.
