From Fribourg, Switzerland,I have over 20 years of dance experience, specialising in ballet. Whilst pursuing my career as a classical ballet dancer with the Victorian State Ballet in Melbourne, I finished studies and received the Certificate lV in Dance teaching and Management.
My first steps as a pre-professional ballet dance trainee started at the "Conservatoire de Fribourg" coached by Corinne Held Balbarie and Hans Meister.
Leaving home and travelling at age fifteen to follow the passion as a dancer.
First stop was the “Ballett-Akademie Hochschule für Musik und Theatre München”, where I received a scholarship, followed by the “Balletschule Theater Basel”. I was offered to join the Junior Company Prague dancing in classical ballet as well as contemporary dance works.
I travelled to New Zealand and worked with the Aotearoa National Youth Ballet.
One of the highlights in my career was to be invited at a Gala and dancing Aurora from the ballet Sleeping Beauty at the Opera House in Prague and Odette in Swan Lake choreographed by Kevin Durwael in the Estates Theatre in Praque.
