I’m an artist and coach with over ten years of experience in the circus arts. I completed aerial fabric teacher training in 2011 at the New England Center for Circus arts and began teaching in 2012. I opened Air Temple Arts, now one of the largest studios in New England, in 2013 where I now serve as the creative director.

As a performer, I focus on aerial silks, corde lisse, aerial hoop, and sling. As you may have already read I’m a prolific artist behind the curtain as well, and have produced a number of professional shows, including two touring productions.

As a coach, my goal is to build a sturdy foundation on great technique, with an understanding of aerial theory, so my students can unlock their ability to innovate authentically, creatively, and safely.
