After graduating with a Bachelor of Musical Theatre in 2019 at Federation University in Ballarat at the Academy of the Arts I moved back to Melbourne acquiring jobs in netball coaching and retail while auditioning for theatre shows. Throughout 2020/21 my career path shifted and in 2022 I completed a Certificate IV in Education Support with Holmesglen Tafe quickly realising that Teaching was something I had a passion for and was always connected to in many previous occupations from skipping coaching to dance teaching and hotel tour guiding.

 

Later in 2022, I applied to commence my Masters of Teaching of Primary & Secondary at Deakin University majoring in Dance and Drama for Secondary Teaching. On track to graduate early next year in 2024, I am looking forward to a journey into Teaching that allows me to utilise my professional performance skills and empathy for learners to build their passions within and outside of the classroom.

My current artistic practice has seen me transition into the improvisational dance area with a colleague working on a Dance for Health program that prioritises dancers and people's mental and physical health. Through monthly meetings with Grace Dance Co and connections building movement language and improvisational time with this group of dancers I gained my confidence back to take on my Masters of Teaching at the age of 26 after working casually for most of my twenties. Below are some images of recent dance improvisation sessions. Most recently an improvised performance based on the feeling of sunlight was presented at Mojo Festival of the Arts recognition of World Schizophrenia Day.
