❝ No, I still can't believe it, even after two years, that I'm dancing with this company. It's a dream come true! I remember the first time I saw the Royal Danish Ballet perform, I was twelve, my parents and I were on vacation, so we decided to catch a performance, like a stroke of luck, La Sylphide was running at that time. It was my first time seeing the production in its entirety and I was completely mesmerized! It became my dream role to dance and I decided that I'd do everything I could to dance with the Royal Danish at some point, so I managed to participate in summer school here a few times, after I started my scholarship with Canada's National Ballet School. When I finally had the chance to audition, I really didn't expect to be accepted, not at first try, at least, but here I am! And there's nowhere else in the world I'd rather be.
