  • Other: I spent over 15 years touring internationally as a professional acrobat and contortionist, performing with leading European productions like Cirkus Cirkör, Starmania, and Cirque des Clowns. Life on the road was amazing, and I loved every second of it, but after having my second child, I felt it was time for a change—so I left the stage and decided to become a vet. And the rest is – as you may say - history.
