Tell us something about yourself! What do you enjoy doing outside of RGF?

I have been in the animal care field for 16 years and consider myself lucky to have worked with some truly inspiring animals. Most recently I am at Cosley Zoo in Wheaton.

What brought you to RGF?

I took an intro pole class while living in the Seattle area many years ago. I never thought any more about it until a coworker starting posting about their aerial journey at RGF. That combined with a good sale, thank you Groupon, and I was hooked!

What is your favorite song to free dance to?

How can anyone pick a favorite!?! It really depends on my mood. One day it’s something chill and instrumental, the next day it’s Kesha.

What advice do you have for someone just starting their aerial journey?

Say yes. Try all the apparatuses. Take a choreo class. Sign up for a random workshop. Let yourself experience all the amazing things that RGF has to offer. You can’t know if you love something if you don’t give it a chance!
