Hello! I am a dance artist originally from Leeds who moved to France at a very young age, where I took my first contemporary dance class. I went on to train at a Conservatoire in Strasbourg, where I grew up. The training program there exposed me to other dance styles such as classical ballet and jazz, sparking my interest in choreography.

In 2015, I returned to England to train at the Hammond School in Chester, where I significantly improved my ballet technique. The training I received helped me secure a place at Rambert School, enrolling in the degree program. I graduated in 2021, two years after the unfortunate onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the challenges, the experience helped me gain confidence as a choreographer, thanks to the diverse and talented artists I had the privilege of training with.

Currently, I am freelancing in London and have recently co-founded a dance collective called 'Twofold Dance Theatre' with Laurie Case. Our most recent performance, 'Forward To Nowhere,' was showcased at Resolution Festival 2024, and we have also conducted workshops at Trispace and The Playground, Rambert. I enjoy collaborating with other dancers through social media platforms. Currently, I am working on a series of short reels, where the concept involves meeting other dancers and creating spontaneously. These dances often revolve around improvisation, something that I find very inspiring. I believe something beautiful happens when two dancers converse without preemption, and I am eager to explore that further in my practice.
