About me...

It all started with dance. As a child, I fell in love with the rigor and the romance of dance—the steady building of technique week-on-week, the adrenaline of exams & shows and all those hours spent in the studio putting it altogether. Dance didn't just take me around the world; it still shapes my understanding of discipline, storytelling, and the human body.

Like many dancers, my career came with a physical price. I suffered a spinal injury so severe it felt like I might never walk again, let alone dance. It was during this period of forced stillness that I discovered the restorative power of Pilates. Long before it became a trend, I was using these simple, precise movements to literally rebuild my life. The process taught me the skill of listening to the body’s internal logic. After a full and permanent rehabilitation of my spine, I knew I had to share this method. Today, I maintain my teaching practice- coaching others to find strength in recovery.

I have always been fascinated by the "behind the scenes" machinery that makes art possible. During the pandemic, I retrained in Arts Producing and Business Management. I stepped immediately into the world of creative production, managing everything from intimate theatre workshops to large-scale dance festivals. Currently, I am a full-time Project Manager for the global creative events agency Sweet & Chilli, where I deliver brand activations and events across the globe. People often ask if I miss the arts, but in reality, I find a lot of cross over in the high-energy, logistical puzzle of global production and just as much fulfillment as theatre producing.

I am proud to be among one of the last cohorts to graduate in Dance Anthropology from Roehampton University—one of the only institutions in Europe to offer this highly specialised degree. My research, supported by the Society for Dance Research, focuses on the intersection of race, dance and post- colonial crtique inspired by my years performing and competing Raqs Sharqi (Bellydance) and just being curious about cultural tastes and representation. I continue to share and explore dance research with London Contemporary Dance School (The Place) and Society for Dance Research.
