Since the age of 9 I have taken dance classes in a variety of styles. My specialties are acro, Jazz, Musical Theatre, lyrical and contemporary and since high school I have developed a real love for teaching and choreographing as well as Dancing.
​
From early 2018 to late 2020 I taught a range of Dance classes at Excite Academy in Hamilton.
​
Halfway through 2020, I started Strive Performing Arts in Cambridge alongside my continued work at Excite Academy. Since then, I have been teaching students aged 3 and up in and out of schools in a range of styles including Acro, Jazz, Lyrical, Contemporary, Musical theatre and Hip Hop at both recreational and competitive levels. From the beginning of 2021 Strive Preforming arts expanded to Hamilton
​
My main goal in opening my own Dance Company is to spread my love for Dance to people of all ages and walks of life. I want Strive to be a place where everyone can enjoy Dancing, no matter what ability or experience they have. I believe the main thing that makes a good dancer is hard wok and knowing that there is always more to learn

I am Acrobatic Arts certified ( Module 1, Preschool Programme, Aerial and Back handspring workshop, Flexibility and Contortion Workshop) and am registered with NZAMD
