I just want to take a moment to thank everyone who has helped me get to where I am today. This is a little recap of all my performances I’ve been lucky enough to be apart of. I feel so lucky to have SO many talented people around me.

To everyone who has hired me, trusted me with their events, welcomed me into their spaces, and given me opportunities to grow as an artist. To all the festivals, venues, and incredible people I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside.

And especially to my friends who continue to show up, cheer from the crowd, and support me in everything I do.

I’m incredibly grateful for the people who have been part of this journey. None of it goes unnoticed. Thank you for being part of it.

The best part of circus? Being able to perform with your friends. 🎪

We were able to add a little ambiance to the @wwsutah ‘Diamonds on Ice’ fundraising event this week at @lovelandlivingplanet. Stilt walking, lollipop lyra, hand balancing, and more 💎✨

Meet your aerialists! 😜
Just a silly video from tech week awhile back. 😂

Special shoutout to Jane, who shared her talent for making incredible faces! Each of these ladies is truly beautiful inside and out, and I’m honored to get to work with them! 💛

Had an absolute blast working our pulley system. Flying is @markcasswebber @kelseycircus and pulling lines is @mooolyka @playfulpractice.

We love our duo program and are so excited to send it souring into the air!

Don’t miss duo straps today at noon with coach @carina.gillet 🎪

This Saturday, we had the honor of attending & performing at @afsputah Out of the Darkness Walk.
This beautiful morning was filled with love, powerful voices, dance, and reverence.

Thank you for having us and for continuing to advocate for suicide prevention. @afsputah meaningful work is so critical, especially right now.

And, as always, you are worthy.💙

The most consistent feedback I get from flyers is they can't get their feet in a comfortable position on my shoulders.
This has been attributed to the need for bent knees, the inability to push the heels together and lock the head.
And every time the only thing we can come up with is my traps. And I just don’t think they’re that big but I’ve never stood on my own shoulders. 🥺😭
Anyways, here’s two homies scaling up me like a rock wall DESPITE my awful Quasimodo trap deformity.

✨ Love and gratitude ✨

Today when you grab your straps and they feel shiny and new — just know they were washed by hand, one by one, by these three. No one asked them to. They just showed up on a Sunday and put in the elbow grease because they love this place too.

This studio is my whole heart. Watching other people pour theirs into it too? That’s everything.
