Awards: Upon my graduation from Elmhurst Ballet School in 2021, I was awarded the Artisan’s Cup for Excellence in Performance.

Favourite one-act ballet: Elite Syncopations or Tchaikovsky pas de deux. I am a huge fan of both Kenneth MacMillan’s and George Balanchine’s innovative and characterful work that has completely transformed ballet and choreography as we know it today.

Dream role: Either Juliet in Romeo and Juliet or the title role in Giselle. Both of these characters embark on an enormous journey throughout the respective ballets and therefore require a huge amount of artistic and technical maturity! Each dancer that I have seen perform these roles have drawn the audience into the story with them from beginning to end and one day I hope that I can do the same and create that connection through dancing
