To further her education, Autumn is currently working towards obtaining her BFA in dance with a specialization in dance education at York University. She is also Module One certified through Acrobatic Arts. Autumn is a current cast member of Breakaway Entertainment’s pre-professional dance program, Quantum Dance Collective, which is affiliated with York Dance Academy.  Recently, she performed ‘Resilience’ under the direction of Alayna Kellett, Adam Martino, Julia Molnar, and Lexie Stavro.
