Staci has excelled since her first class with us in 2014. Prior to aerial, Staci was a gymnast holding state titles in different events and All Around, which gave her the edge in aerial training. However, Staci’s ultimate success is mainly contributory to her personality and character. She is driven, dedicated, persistent, hardworking, eager to learn, and always keeps a positive attitude.
Over the years, her choices have been very calculated and analytical keeping in close connection with her mentor’s advice and trust, and each journey she takes always results in positive and successful outcome. Among her achievements are: 1st places in different categories at the 2014, 2015, 2018 and 2019 West Coast Aerial Arts Festival; 1st place in static hoop at the 2017 VIVA Fest in Las Vegas; acceptance at the prestigious Ecole Nationale De Cirque in Montreal 2016 and 2017 summer program; guest performer multiple times at Irvine Barclay theater. Being only 16, Staci was invited to be a part of professional cirque troupe, Circo Etereo Entertainment, with whom she performs all around California and where she is expected to train, rehearse, and perform like any other adult member. In 2017 she joined youth circus company, Le Petit Cirque with travel to Norway. Staci is currently in university while continuing her aerial training with the Ruby Karen Project and enjoying performances with Circo Etereo. She garnered her certification upon completion of the International Aerial Teacher Training Program (IATTP) conducted by Aerial Arts America for her teaching credentials.
