Katie is a Pacific Northwest based multidisciplinary circus artist who seeks to inspire through creative movement; both grounded and gravity defying. She opened an aerial studio in Gig Harbor, WA in 2018 where she spends her days training and sharing her love for circus. Like any true northwesterner her busy days are fueled by coffee and countless cuddles from her dogs Juliet and Romeo. Katie has spent the last two years focusing her time and energy on growing her studio and her training. Her experience as a business owner, athlete, and artist have given her an excellent sense of time management, organization, and professionalism along with a creative and sassy spirit. 

 

 Katie specializes in aerial rope, aerial straps and hand-balancing with a secondary focus on aerial silks, and acrobatics. Her love for movement and an awe inspiring skill set began at the age of eight years old when she attended her first gymnastics class. Filled with passion for the sport and a complete lack of talent, she started to build the foundation for the life she now has. Her sense of unreasonable determination began at a young age allowing her to become the artist, athlete, and business owner she is today.

 

Katie trained and competed nationally in gymnastics for nine years and began training aerial in 2015. Her performing career began in the small community of Spokane, WA where she performed in local parades and music festivals. Finding herself back on the Northwest side of Washington after graduating college she has performed on several local stages independently and with professional companies.
