I loved the circus when I was a child, but never thought it was something I would have the opportunity to explore. When I got into college I found a new way to appreciate contortion through yoga and after graduating I moved to Raleigh, North Carolina. There I started working as a software engineer and continued my yoga practice. I stumbled upon an aerial yoga class and loved being inverted so much that I started taking all kinds of aerial classes. I was lucky enough to discover Cirque de Vol, where I truly entered the circus community and began my journey upside down on lyra and sling. Now that I have enjoyed being a circus monkey for some time, a few extraordinary performers and I have formed Firefly Circus!
