What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
Artistically I once got told by my teacher, there is always going to be someone who will jump higher or will turn better than you, but you’ll never find anyone who will move like you because that’s what define you as a ballet dancer and makes you special and unique. 

What’s your favourite place in Scotland?
Balmaha, Loch Lomond. I have really good memories with friends and family there, so it always makes me smile when I think about it.  

What do you like to do on your days off?
It depends on the time of the year. If we are on tour, then definitely rest is all I need. But if it’s during a quieter time, I love to go on day trips and explore new places or meet friends. 

What’s something people might not know about you?
I love health sciences. I’d love to be a physio or a doctor in medicine after my ballet life is over.   

What does ‘home’ mean to you?
A place where I feel comfortable, safe and loved.  

What’s your hype song?
Quimbara by Celia Cruz and Johnny Pacheco 

If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
I love travelling so definitely teleportation. I’d be great to go to Hawaii on our lunch break!  

What’s the best thing about going on tour with the company?
You get to know different places, cities, people and cultures, especially when we tour internationally, which I love.
