​

I began dancing at the age of 5 in the Cecchetti Method of Classical Ballet with Ms Sandra Allan at Rosebud Ballet School. I later took up Tap at the age of 12 in the  ATOD Method with Miss Mel. I have since completed all Classical Exams up to and including Advanced 2 and Tap exams up to and including Advanced.

​

In 2008 (aged 14) , I became a student assistant for the 3-4 year old Dance Play class and from there my love of teaching grew. I started teaching my first class in 2011 and each year I started teaching more and more. After I finished school, I went on to study full time at Box Hill Institute and in 2014, I graduated with my Diploma in Dance Teaching and Management. In 2015, I returned to  Box Hill and obtained my Certificate IV in Training and Assessment.

​

I became an Affiliate Teacher of ATOD in 2014 and entered my first group of students for their Tap Exams, all receiving exceptional results. I was also a secondary coach for junior students participating in Cecchetti Ballet Exams.

​

I began further studies in the Cecchetti Method and successfully obtained my Cecchetti Associate in 2016, Associate Diploma in 2018, Licentiate in 2019 and Licentiate Diploma in 2024. I have successfully passed part A of the Enrico Cecchetti Diploma, and I plan to undertake part B soon. 

​

I love dance and everything that goes with it, and I love nothing more than passing on my knowledge and passion of dance to others.
