Aerial Performer and Coach




Aerial Workshops & Teaching
I am based in NYC and teach weekly classes at Aerial Arts NYC.
I teach all levels from beginner to professional. Check out my calendar page for weekly classes and updates.
Have an idea to incorporate aerial choreography into your upcoming production? I have worked with actors of all levels in developing creative aerial components that are appropriate for both the theater space and actors involved. I focus on preparing the actors to perform in the air- emphasizing strength, safety, and confidence.
​
Interested in holding a workshop at your studio or training facility?
I teach workshops in silk, lyra, act development, and partnering.
​
I began my fitness career teaching pilates.
I earned my Stott Pilates certification in 2007 & have extensive knowledge in anatomy and biomechanics. I began teaching aerial acrobatics in 2015. Going through pregnancy and the postnatal period gave me such a new perspective on training, creating, and teaching. I'm more patient, have better time management, and can navigate multiple challenges simultaneously.
I love teaching because sharing all I have learned.
I love participating in my students' journeys.
