As a child I trained at the Sabatini School of Dance and Performance
and from 18 at the The North London Dance Studios I graduated with a
Diploma in Performing Arts and my I.S.T.D Associate Qualifications.
Straight from college I began my performing career which took me around the UK and Europe, not only dancing and singing but managing and choreographing new shows. It was a few years into my professional career that I realised although I love to perform my real passion was for teaching and working with young people. So when I was given the opportunity to take over Stage Plus in 2007 I jumped at the chance.
Since college I have continued my training at the Linda Sweetzer Teacher Training College where i have passed my FDI and CDE and am currently studying for my Licenciates in Tap and Modern. I also instruct new dance teachers in their FDI and CDE studies alongside Linda and her team and aim to become an examiner in the future.
