She came to Hype Dance in 2012 where she took street and contemporary dance classes which led her into Hype’s Hip Hop performance group, MatriX.

She was also lucky enough to take part in ARC 2013/14, a pre-vocational dance course during which time she studied Hip Hop in depth. She graduated and went on to be an assistant on the course the following year.
