About -
My journey so far:
I’m a curious and open-minded artist with a passion for movement, collaboration, and creative exploration. I’m particularly inspired by the connection between dance and other artistic forms, especially visual arts. Through exchanging ideas, learning from others, and continuously exploring new perspectives, I aim to grow and evolve both as a dancer and as an individual.
I started dancing at the age of four at a small dance school in my hometown. After my very first ballet class, I immediately fell in love with movement. “I feel like a butterfly,” I told my mother as I stepped out of the studio.
By the age of twelve, I realised that I wanted to turn my passion into a profession. I began my professional training at Tanz Akademie Zürich, where I completed the Einführungsklasse and Grundstudium, building a strong foundation in classical ballet.
In 2020, I began my professional training and apprenticeship at Ballettschule Theater Basel, where I later received my EFZ diploma as a professional stage dancer. In 2023, I decided to deepen and expand my knowledge of contemporary dance and began my Bachelor’s degree in Contemporary Dance at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), graduating in July 2026.
Throughout my journey towards becoming a professional dancer, I have had the opportunity to work with several renowned Swiss and international choreographers. During the 2025/26 season, I also joined Scapino Ballet Rotterdam in the Netherlands, working under the artistic direction of Nanine Linning—an experience that further shaped my artistic development and perspective as a dancer.
Movement follows me throughout my day and has become an essential part of who I am. It supports me in many ways, connecting me to others as well as to myself. Movement is something that can be shared, yet also deeply personal, a form of energy that allows me to continuously evolve, discover, and learn something new every time I move.
