Jessica was born and raised in the Denver metro area. While working as a yoga teacher, she found her way to the circus. She took her first aerial class six years ago, and has been dedicated to her training since. Her first apparatus of choice is always lyra, although she has performed on almost every apparatus onstage and has a special love for sling and loops. She is grateful to have studied in person with inspiring aerialists from around the world, including Aisling Ni Cheallaigh, New York Cat, and Lucky Herrera. Her passion is creating acts with a compelling narrative component, and she is excited to bring to stage another original aerial production with her duo partner and Moonlight & Mist Aerial co-creator, Emma Bennett, in collaboration with Megan McMaster and Gravity Aerial Arts.
