Mak was first exposed to aerial arts as a teenager where she saw aerialists accompanying a musical performance. It immediately became her goal to be a performer like those aerialists she saw that day. She began practicing silks in 2020, though the pandemic waylaid her practice for about a year. She now has a full year of consistent practice under her belt, and is looking to diversify her skills into lyra and hammock.

Her personal practice is defined by self-motivation and empowerment, making her a perfect fit for our youngest aerialists as they explore what it means to train and realize their potential. Maks skills and knowlege have grown exponentially from when she first discovered aerial arts—but her goal remains the same: she dreams of one day being part of a circus troupe performing in professional shows.
