From Paris Opera Performances to the Global Stage:

Help Ophelia Reach the Finish Line

​The Leap of Faith

​At 13 years old, fueled by a "thirst for the unknown," I took a leap of faith. I left the comfort of my home and family to train at the Conservatorio Annarella Sanchez in Portugal. That single decision ignited a chain of discovery that has taken me from the studios of Arizona, London and to the heart of New York City.

​My Journey: A Global Education

​My foundation began in Paris at Institut Stanlowa and the Paris Opera Junior Choir, where I had the surreal experience of performing as a soloist and corps in several performances at the Opéra de Paris Garnier and Opéra Bastille. When the world paused during the pandemic, I used my own earnings to build a home studio, refusing to let my dream lose momentum.

​Since then, I have been honored to train with some of the world’s most prestigious institutions:

​Conservatorio Internacional de Ballet e Dança Annarella (Portugal)

​Master Ballet Academy (Arizona, USA)

​Masters of Ballet (London, UK)

​Ellison Ballet (New York City, USA)

​European Ballet School (Amsterdam) (Current)

​The Price of the Dream

​This path has been paved with more than just applause; it has been built on sacrifice, physical exhaustion, and on an emotional roller-coaster. However, these challenges have moulded me into the artist I am today. I have gained a "global family" of mentors and friends, and a technical versatility that spans the world’s greatest ballet styles.

​Why I Need Your Support

​I am now in the final stage of my training at European Ballet school. This is the "homestretch" before I reach my ultimate goal: stepping onto the professional stage to express my soul through dance and connect with audiences worldwide.

​The reality of international elite training comes with significant financial hurdles. Costs for tuition, housing in European capitals, and professional-grade supplies are a constant challenge. To give you an idea of the daily requirements:

​A single pair of pointe shoes: £73 – £90 (and a dancer can go through dozens every few months).

​Tuition & Housing: The final bridge between student and professional. Per annum 9000 GDP tuition 10000 GDP accommodation.

​How You Can Join My Journey

​I am reaching out to ask for your support to help me finalize this chapter. No contribution is too small—every bit of support brings me one step closer to the stage.

​Thank you for being part of my story and for helping me turn this lifelong dream into a reality.
