Raised in Stone Mountain, GA, performing arts has always been a part of my life, but I only ever dreamed I could excel at something as amazing as aerial dance when I started in 2013. Drawn to the beauty of blending strength and grace into artistic expression, it has been and remains a catalyst of self discovery and inspiration that I am grateful and fortunate enough to share through my love of performing and teaching.
