Summary

I was born on the Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey Circus. I'm a fourth generation trapeze artist. (the Flying Wards) I owned my own trapeze rig for years, and have been on or around circus off and on my whole life. I stopped catching trapeze in 2019. I'm very comfortable around rigging/shows and am a quick study. I have also had a long career as a Flight Attendant for SWA. I have held a few positions with this company and love the flexibility which has allowed me to pursue other interest. I would love the opportunity to come work for Cirque du Soleil. I feel I could be a good asset to your team .
