CURRENT MISSION

Finishing my trapeze act so I can get back out on tour.

ABOUT ME

I'm an aerialist, bookworm, country mouse, nomad, and military significant other. That's me in a nutshell!

I love petting cats, reading books, drinking tea, and climbing trees. I've been a professional circus performer since 2006, and still sometimes can't quite believe that I get paid to do something so fun. People ask me why I wanted to join the circus, and sometimes I tell them "Well, I wanted to be Peter Pan, and this is the closest job I could find." My Dad is a farmer, and someday, when I retire from the circus, I want to move back to Wisconsin and grow flowers for a living.

I'm definitely a bit of an introvert, but I do really like people! I may just be a little shy when you first meet me. I'm working on being more outgoing!

Random facts:

I am left handed.
I used to have electric blue hair.
My lucky number is 3.

...I am also easily distracted by shiny objects and cats...
