I have been training in disciplines to use my only tool, my body, in pursuit of artistic and philosophical expression in performance and now modeling since I was four years old- ballet, gymnastics, jazz, voice, acting, martial arts, acrobatics, music, modeling, tribal percussion, meditation, yoga, and ritual. With an education in traditional theater I began to explore the alternative spectacle and interactive character work of a genre known as the Circus. Choosing to develop skills in clowning, mime, stilt-walking, and fire dancing, I have worked solo and with many different collectives in the past ten years such as The Ever-Changing Festival of Now (Olympia, Wa), Freedom Tribe, the Moorish Orthodox Fire Shrine (Arizona), Burning Man Fire Conclave, Galaxxy Chamber, Mystic Family Circus (San Francisco), Pure Cirkus, Magmavox, Spinergy Arts, Super Geek League,  Arakus Productions, and The Cabiri (Seattle). Currently I am the creative & managing director of Heartsinspyre Entertainment. My performances can be described as passionately mytho-poetic, as well as sensually neo-ritualistic as I revel in the depths of vulnerability yet empower the inner essence of all who bear witness. My sole motivation in life is to inspire the human race to see a little beyond it's taught perceptions by fully embracing freedom, exhibiting a conscience understanding of the universal consistency of the human condition, the pain in separation, and the will to love without reason... Light your Heart on Fire!
