Accomplishments
Upon graduation from Canada's National Ballet School, I worked as a professional ballet dancer for the National Ballet of Canada (Toronto), The Hamburg Ballet (Hamburg, Germany), and the Albeta Ballet Company (Calgary). Through my studies and career in ballet I developed highly valuable skills such as critical thinking, team work, the ability to learn quickly, discipline and dedication, and I possess a high drive to succeed in my chosen field. I also built and ran my own ballet school in Calgary for 9 years. During this time I gained first hand experience in organization, management, conflict resolution, scheduling, and more.
