Biography
I'm a New Zealand circus artist and aerialist who discovered my passion for performance while working in software engineering. After six years in tech and four years of training circus alongside my career, I decided to pursue performance professionally.
In 2026, I travelled to the UK to perform with Russell's International Circus, taking a leap towards building a life around the thing I love. My work spans dance trapeze, duo trapeze and solo and duo straps, with additional experience in Lyra, rope, Spanish web and duo acrobatics.
I'm passionate about the combination of strength, movement and
... expression that circus offers, and I'm excited to keep developing my work and collaborating with other artists.
Experience
I have trained in circus for four years alongside a career in software engineering before transitioning towards professional performance. In 2026, I travelled to the UK to perform with Russell's International Circus. I have also performed at festivals and showcases in New Zealand.

Meet the Act
After six years working in software engineering, I decided to take a leap and pursue my love of circus professionally. I've always been drawn to the creativity and physical challenge of aerial performance, and I love finding new ways to combine movement, strength and expression.
When I'm not upside down, I'm probably exploring a new creative project or thinking about what I'd like to learn next. I'm always excited to meet other artists, collaborate on new work and bring something special to a performance.
