My interest in dance started at a young age when I attended ballet and tap classes. I then moved to another dance school and completed many exams in Latin American and Freestyle. I enjoy many styles of dance including Ballet, Tap Jazz, Latin American, Ballroom, Contemporary and Street.

In 2004, I began attending Havering College of Further and Higher Education to study Dance. Whilst I was there I gained a National Diploma in Performing Arts as well as a Higher National Certificate and Higher National Diploma in Dance. While studying at Havering College I also completed my I.D.T.A. (International Dance Teachers Association) Associate exam in Freestyle in which I achieved the highest mark.

While at college, I was a member of Horizons Performing Arts which put on many shows at local theatres including Queens Theatre and Brentwood Theatre, I have also performed at Thameside Theatre Grays as well as Lakeside shopping centre. I have also appeared on shows for MTV and has performed for Her Majesty the Queen.

I began working for babyballet® in 2010 for the Malling and Medway franchise in Kent and fell in love with the classes. I was asked to run my own area, Romford, and went on to buy this 6 months later then expanded into Chelmsford, Brentwood and Billericay. I have recently completed a level 4 Diploma in teaching Special Needs Children.
