Bridgette began her dance training at the age of 3, attending Edwards Dance Studio under Camille Edwards in Seymour Victoria, before moving to Ballarat in 2014 where she continued her dance training.

She has trained in Ballet, Tap, Contemporary, Jazz, Hip Hop, Heels and Musical Theatre. Bridgette thrives in the theatre industry, focusing most of her training on Jazz and Musical Theatre styles. Currently, she is undertaking classes in Jazz, Contemporary, Heels, Commercial and Hip Hop to further benefit her training. 

Bridgette has also been involved in the Ballarat's Performing Arts community. She has been in Bloc Music Theatre's Junior musicals in 2021, 2022 and 2023, featuring in Dance Ensemble and Backstage roles, as well as Loreto College Musicals from 2021 to 2024, featuring in Dance Ensemble roles and as Supporting and Lead characters.

She found her spark for dance teaching while assisting Jinah Waters as Assistant Choreographer in the St Patrick's College and Loreto College production of 'Newsies' in 2025.

Currently Bridgette is studying the Certificate IV in Dance Teaching and Management through Transit Dance, aiming to be completed by the end of 2026.
