    Where are you from?

    I was born in Brighton, UK, while my parents were working there – we moved back to Australia shortly after and I grew up in Melbourne.

    Where did you undertake your full-time training?

    The Royal Ballet School, UK.

    What level of education had you attained before beginning your full-time training?

    Between ages six to 17 I attended dance classes after school at Camberwell in 2002, I came back to ballet with fresh inspiration. In early 2005 I had just started year 12 and my teachers, Susan Thomson and Toivo Taves, encouraged me to go to the Royal Ballet School in London. After a successful audition, I moved to London in September – I was midway through Year 12, and with the support of RBS I completed my exams via correspondence and obtained my VCE.
