As a child and young adult growing up in the Blue Mountains, Kara was an avid sportswoman, particularly fond of tree-climbing and rock-climbing. When discovering Circus Avalon during her university days she immediately took a shine to the aerial arts. She is a passionate and active performer, focusing her skills on duo silks, duo lyra, corde lisse, trapeze and adagio.
