At 16, she earned an apprenticeship at the American Ballet Theater in New York City, before ultimately deciding to pursue a career in acting and modeling. “It takes so much dedication, ballet … you’re always striving to be perfect and I was really consumed by that. I realized I was doing it for the wrong reasons,” she told Harper’s Bazaar Australia in 2019.
