About Me:
I am a 20 year old professional dancer in training from Cambridge and moved to Manchester for a career in professional dance and choreography. I have been trained in musical theatre since a young age meaning I have been professionally trained in dancing and singing as well as acting for stage. I have now however, moved onto Street and Hiphop dance which is where I feel most myself and rely on the culture and the music daily.

I have always wanted to explore my Nordic side through modelling since I am half Swedish and saw this as a separate entity to my dancing. I have always had a more tomboy aesthetic when it came to my choice of clothing.

I enjoy street inspired clothing such as caps, baggy shorts and printed tees. On the other end of the spectrum, I love the more feminine side of clothes and enhancing my height and embodying my long hair which I enjoy styling in different ways that make me feel confident.

Within the dance culture I am constantly developing and adding to my style and how I want to be perceived.

I have always been fascinated by runway modelling and would love to see how I could develop in this category. On the other hand, I believe modelling for sportswear brands would fit the way I present myself within the dance scene and this would be something I would be determined to achieve. I enjoy taking on leadership roles when it comes to my job as a front of house and believe this can be perceived when in front of the camera. I always aim to show the most confident version of myself and get excited about the different avenues I can take within modelling.

Despite loving my waitressing job, it’s definitely not my forever but I believe modelling can be. I aim to take on directions positively and hope to build my way up in the community.
