I have been practicing hula hoop for ten months and have slowly been increasing my tricks. I have also been doing silks for four to five months and slowly getting myself into contortion. I have fallen in love with everything I have been doing.

My grandmas inspired me to perform when I was younger. Now it is my family and close friends that keep me going and keep me believing that I can do it.

I have noticed a difference in how I present myself not just on the stage but also in my everyday life. I am always ready to show people what I can do and who I am.

If you even have the slightest thought that you want to try it, just go for it. It might seem like a bunch of stuff that is scary but once you get started then you will fall in love with the circus arts.

I have always had a thing for dance but I love dancing with kids and seeing their face when I do a simple move. I have been teaching children and found that their minds can go somewhere ours can’t. Recently I have gotten into writing.
