About Me

I am an 18-year-old Swiss-British ballet dancer currently working at the Theater St. Gallen in Switzerland under the direction of Kinsun Chan. I have been graduating from Tanz Akademie Zürich (taZ), Switzerland in July 2021. I was born in Bern and grew up in a village near the Swiss capital, where I lived with my Swiss Dad and my British Mum and older brother until moving to Zurich to attend the professional ballet program 6 years ago.
I started ballet classes at 5 years old because my best friend at kindergarten didn’t want to go on her own. She stopped after a few months but I loved it and stayed. My first ballet teacher was very encouraging and suggested I go to a tryout open day at taZ when I was 10. I was seen by Oliver Matz who offered me a place to start in the first year of the foundation course but I was still too young so for 18 months I travelled 2 hours each way from home to taZ on Fridays and Saturdays until starting full time in August 2015.

I graduated with a “Stage Dancer EFZ” Federal Certification of Proficiency in Classical Dance, the professional qualification accredited by the Swiss government.
