Summary
I have over 15 years of experience in ballet as a performer, choreographer, and educator. I founded and directed my own ballet school, and also worked as a soloist with the State Philharmonic. Over the years, I’ve been actively involved in organizing stage performances, student productions, and artistic events. Now, I’m looking to transition into roles focused more on event planning, cultural projects, and creative organization, where I can bring together my artistic background and strong coordination skills.
