The beginning

​

I trained at the National Theatre Ballet School under Gailene Stock and Gary Norman.

I was then accepted in to The Australian Ballet School and AB Dancers Company and graduated with Advanced Diploma in Dance. 

Soon after graduating I danced  with Queensland Ballet Company under the directorship of Harold Collins. I performed in seasons of Romeo & Juliet,Carmen, Scheherazade &Alice. 

​

I then changed paths slightly and learnt the art form of Adagio and went on to have a lustrous career performing my Adagio Act all over the world, one special highlight was preforming our Adagio act for Miami City Ballet in a special gala evening of dance.

With my husband we also developed aerial acts and performed as a specialty act with Companies such as Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Costa, Carnival as well as in featured shows at Jupiters/Star Casino in Innerve, Storm, Zircus as well as many corporate events in Australian and overseas.
