A Little About Me
Casandra Newkirk is originally from North Carolina and lived in Charlotte and Rocky Mount before leaving for undergrad. She has a Ph.D. in Marine Science from the University of Florida and conducts research focused on coral reef ecology and preservation. She started aerial almost five years ago during graduate school as a way to relieve stress and has been hooked ever since. She primarily trains on silks and lyra but recently started dance trapeze and straps classes, which she loves as well.
Outside of aerial and science, Casandra enjoys reading, writing, and spending time with her family and newly adopted chocolate lab, Zeus. She always aims to create a positive and uplifting training environment, ensuring that aerial remains as fun as it should be.
