I started ballet classes at the age of 3 with Marian Lennon in a school in Naas and followed her to The National Performing Arts School (NPAS) and continued through the RAD grades there. At the age of 13 I took extra classes at Inchicore College to take the first of the Major Ballet Exams. After finishing school I enrolled in the Dance Program in Inchicore College where I trained to become a teacher. I completed the Certificate in Ballet Teaching Studies with the RAD, the Diploma in Dance Instruction with the ISTD and National Certificate of Exercise and Fitness with University of Limerick.
