In 2017, he took part in Youth American Grand Prix where he won first place and received a full scholarship to The Royal Ballet School. He studied at The Royal Ballet School from September 2017 to July 2022, having received The London Ballet Circle Dame Ninette Award for the most outstanding male graduate of The Royal Ballet School that year.
