Summary

I am currently with Irish Ballet School and The Irish National Youth Ballet (INYB). Classically trained and very performance-driven, I am extremely dedicated with a hunger and willingness to learn and grow. I have strong musicality and very much enjoy and work well in a group. As well as attending school I train in Ballet approximately 18 hours per week. My aim is to pursue full time vocational ballet training with a goal to dancing professionally.
