Vy’s Story

I grew up in Lincolnwood, Illinois, and was a competing gymnast for many years, before starting my circus and aerial career. These days, I consider myself an artist rather than an athlete. I find it more fulfilling to perform than winning medals! I currently perform in a variety of shows and events throughout Chicago and the Midwest.

On the side, I coach at various locations. Such as Chicago Aerial Arts, and gymnastics at the Evanston Township High School. I have also choreographed for performers from Teatro ZinZanni, a cabaret show in Chicago.

I very much enjoy doing what I do. I used to attend Loyola University Chicago, and studied Criminology. Upon discovering circus and aerial, I knew there was a higher calling for me. I dropped out of my graduate program and pursued circus full time. Today, my goal is to be on the big stage with the likes of Cirque du Solei. In the meantime, sharing my craft is just as fulfilling :)
