One of my teachers told me to really lean into and use my sense of humour in my dancing and when I perform certain roles.

What career moment are you most proud of? 
Performing a featured role in MC 14/22 at The Joyce Theatre in New York City. 

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given? 
One of my teachers told me to really lean into and use my sense of humour in my dancing and when I perform certain roles.  

What’s your favourite place in Scotland? 
Plockton. It has the most beautiful scenery. I enjoy going out rowing and fishing, foraging and making dinner. 

What’s your favourite ballet to perform? 
I enjoy performing David Dawson’s Swan Lake as it requires such intense and demanding physical movement, but at the same time his style feels very natural to me. 

What’s your hype song? 
You’re All I Need to Get By by Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell 

What’s the funniest thing that’s happened on stage? 
On opening night of MC 14/22 in the Edinburgh Festival I slid across the stage as I was running on to take my bow as there was water used in the performance. 

What makes you smile? 
My sausage dog, she is always so pleased to see me when I come back home. 

What’s the best thing about going on tour with the company? 
Visiting places on national and international tours that I wouldn’t necessarily have gone to otherwise.
