About Me

Picture
Hula hooping captured my heart in 2010 after attending a music festival and seeing a hoop dancer for the very first time. Completely mesmerized by what I saw, I knew it was something I had to try.  Since then, hooping has been an ever-growing passion of mine. I enjoy all aspects of the hoop world, as I can be found performing, teaching, making hoops, or contributing my knowledge to the hooping community.  I strive to continue growing as an artist, performer, teacher, and hooping liaison.
