I have been involved in dance and cheer for over 20 years, having completed my RAD ballet exams up to Advanced 1 and competing in cheer up to Level 3. I have trained in Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Lyrical/ Contemporary, Hiphop, High Kick, Pom, Latin/Ballroom, Cheer, and Musical Theatre. In high school I trained at Dubbo Ballet Studio's advanced program, competing at Sydney Eisteddfod Fulltime sections in which we reached the finals every year (top 8 in the nation) and came second at just 15 years old. In my gap year after high school, I completed a Cert 4 in Fitness, started a personal training business, and began teaching dance at Vieira Dance School of Excellence. I then moved to Sydney to complete my fulltime training at ED5 International, graduating with an Advanced Diploma in Performing Arts. After graduating I went on to work at gigs such as: Empire Entertainment NRL Cheerleader, Christian Tafas Cancer Appeal Fundraiser, Arnotts Foundation Gala, Pinnacle Foundation Gala, Save Our Sons Gala, Nicole Fitzsimmons Foundation Gala, Sleeping on My Dreams Music Video, "Witch" in Beauty and The Beast, "Tom Snout" in MidSummer Nights Dream, and "00" in The Wolves.

During the covid lockdown, I started and completed my Cert 4 in Business Management, and the next year I started my Diploma in Education Studies.

Throughout this time I took over as Manager at Stepaside Studios, before heading on to run Next Gen OOSCH, then transitioning to Swim School Manager at Fitness First. All of these while still coaching cheer and dance at various locations around Sydney!

In 2024 I took over as Owner and Director at Inferno Cheer and Dance, and brought with me a passion for evidence- based education, and a dedication to safe, progressive, and kind coaching practices.

I've been training in dance for 8 years an acrobatics and tumbling for 5 years now. I am currently completing my fulltime professional training at Village Nation. This has lead me to many professional gigs including: performing for Seven News promoting the Taylor Swift tour, Dance For Sick kids charity TV special, Background performer on The Voice Australia, MetLife Insurance Awards Gala, and Tobu Tours Awards Gala.

I have taught tumbling and dance at Constant Groove dance studios, and Village Nation Junior School.

I am currently signed professionally with Fiveten Creative Agency and am an accredited Acrobatic Arts Module 1 instructor.

I have been dancing for 16 years, over the years I have trained in many different styles including but not limited to, ballet, jazz, hip hop, lyrical, pom, high kick, tap and cheer. I have had the opportunity to compete all over Australia and the world, claiming multiple national, grand and international championships. My most recent being the Global Games held in Hawaii. I have completed my RAD ballet exams from primary all the way to intermediate, and currently completing advanced foundation. I successfully completed my dance HSC in 2021 at Nepean Creative and Performing Arts High School with my major being dance composition  and since graduating I have helped multiple students audition in the circus program. Im a qualified dance and tumble teacher, attaining my certificate 3 in assistant dance teaching and intermediate with module 1 tumble coach under gymnastics NSW.

I’m coach Amity! I absolutely love teaching at Inferno Cheer & Dance! As my first coaching job I have learnt a whole lot this year, most of all I love being part of such a supportive team & adore seeing my students achieve new skills and grow in confidence. I teach recreational tumble and cheerleading - seeing my students thrive is exciting & very rewarding. I have been an All Star dancer and cheerleader since age 4. As the daughter of studio owners at ‘You Can Dance Performing Arts & YCD Cheerleading’ I learnt a lot growing up seeing every side of studio life. As a student my most memorable highlights are competing in Cheer (2024) and Pom (2019) at ‘The Summit’ in Florida for Varsity All Star competing against the best in the world! I have also performed at Disneyland, Universal Studios, Hollywood Boulevard, competed both in dance & cheer in LA, been part of multiple National Champion teams in Aus and have trained under some of the most reputable Aus & international coaches. I have learnt much from all of them, and will be continuing my coaching education by gaining my credentials this year. I'm growing as a dancer with my own training & the opportunity to pass on my expertise to my students at Inferno is something I look forward to very much!
