Vision Statement:
I am a passionate performer who has spent the last three years completing a Bachelor of
Dance Studies. I have danced at places such as Macau, Tempo Arts Festival and Breakers
Games. Im driven to explore and travel the world whilst discovering diverse cultural
performances. I want to take my years of dance training (which includes Jazz, Hip-hop,
RocknRoll, Musical Theatre and Contemporary) to work with choreographers around the
world. My dream, to perform in front of audiences, is something that I am determined to
make happen, as to me, a life without dance, is not a life at all. To share my experience and
passion with younger generations while continuing to create and be a part of questioning
and investigative works.
Dance experience:
Bachelor of Dance studies completed 2014.
This was a mixture of both practical and theoretical dance study. Over the three years, we
were able to perform multiple times including a flash mob, with Auckland Philharmonic
Orchestra and our own shows which were presented at the end of every year.

Personal Attributes
Responsible: I am a responsible individual who has always stepped up to any challenge or
mark set/given. This was demonstrated when I was offered the role of Assistant Store
Manager when I had only been trained as a Key holder for two weeks.
People Person: I have a lot of experience working with multiple people to put together
shows or work. I have worked with a range of choreographer and dancers, and know what it
takes to adapt to different situations and roles. Within my time as ASM I had to deal with
any customer complaints/problems or staff issues (not being able to make shifts).
Creative: This I not only get to exercise as a dancer and choreographer but I also get to set
up displays at Peter Alexander.
Organised: I manage to juggle work, dance and assignments. I do this through keeping a
diary and staying on top of my work. Over my years studying I never had to ask for an
extension for my work as it is important to me that I am able to make deadlines.
