Biography
I started my training as an acrobatic gymnast. I trained under Russian coaches and competed nationally and internationally for 8 years. From there I joined a hip-hop dance crew and continued to compete, but also started my dance career. Since then I have been in the dance industry for 9 years. In 2020 I started my aerial career where I found my duo partner, Vaughn Hurly. As an individual, I have been performing for 4 years and as partners, we have been working and performing together for 2 years. Between us, we have roughly 20 acts together, solo and duo.

Physical Characteristics
Meet the Act
I was trained as an acrobatic gymnast by Russian coaches when I was 6. They always told me that talent was 10% and the rest was hard work and determination, so naturally, I grew up with that mentality and carried it with me throughout my life.
I competed in gymnastics, dancing, and cheerleading both nationally and internationally until I finally found my passion for performing and chose to do that full-time. I had been performing in the dance industry when Covid hit and found the best way to fill my time would be to take on something new - which is how I found aerial. I soon fell in love with
... the danger of the art and enjoyed the way I was able to blend my gymnastics and dancing experience. I have been performing aerial for 4 years now and would now like to take it all over the world, learn from multiple people, and share my love for the art with whoever and wherever I can.
