FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started juggling when I was 14 and throughout high school I became infatuated with juggling, I loved teaching people, and I loved showing off. After I graduated I didn't see myself doing anything that wasn't juggling or circus... Shortly after people sought me out to teach and perform at festivals, fundraisers, and parties. It was just where I naturally ended up. Where I was meant to be.
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
This June I worked as a counselor for the Nueva Summer Camp in Hillsborough, CA. I was teaching children from ages 4-14. All of the younger kids up to second grade were part of the circus program in which other circus folk and I taught tons of different circus skills. Many of the kids took the week long camp multiple times over the 6 weeks because they said it was their favorite. The older kids in third through eighth grade were learning just juggling from my own class. Though juggling can be frustrating for younger ones it was amazing to see them stay focused and encourage others to keep going.
