Favourite one-act ballet: Elite Syncopations is such a joyful and playful piece. I could watch it all day.

Dream role: Kitri from Don Quixote, her strong personality really inspires me and it gives me goosebumps every time I watch the ballet.

Proudest off-stage achievement: Learning English. I remember myself as a 14-year-old not having a clue on anything my classmates would try to tell me, and it was so frustrating, but now English feels so natural to me, it is incredible.
