"I'd like to say a sincere thank you to the panel for selecting me, it's a real honour and an amazing feeling to receive the Phyllis Haylor Scholarship. I thoroughly enjoyed presenting the topic of inclusivity in dance to the panel.
Looking ahead, I'm most excited about connecting with fellow professionals from across the society, to spend time and learn from their vast experiences. I hope that the knowledge and growth I gain through this opportunity will set me in good stead to give back and support future winners of the scholarship in years to come."
