Model. Pole Performer. Instructor. Consultant.
Welcome to my website!
I built this website as a place to contact me and find out more about me, my journey, and the work I am doing. Social media holds a lot of restrictions for performers like me so having this website is freedom.
I hope you enjoy my content.

I started my pole journey in 2014, at the time I had just graduated from the Centre for Advanced Training (CAT) at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of music and dance where I spent five years training in Contemporary dance, ballet and creative choreography, before starting intermediate and advanced ballet classes at English National Ballet.
I actually started pole dancing because I had just graduated from dance and gone through a break up and I needed something in life to challenge me and keep me grounded. From my first class, I was hooked. I used to drive from my Tuesday evening ballet class straight to pole and there was something so freeing about going between the two.
In 2014, after 11 months of pole I decided I would take an instructor training course before going to university. I passed my course and headed off to The University of Sussex where I studied Psychology but mainly spent every waking moment in the Pole Society, I was a teacher, performer and Vice-President within the society, helping bring home several pole and dance championship titles in my final year.
My real pole career started in 2018, I was graduating and I got offered my first pole modelling job. From there the performances kept rolling in and by September I was asked to perform at Redbull Music Festival, a show that changed my life.
