Office Administrator

Gabby Saghie

We are thrilled to welcome Gabby Saghie back to Protégé Dance Company as our newest member of the Administrative Team! Gabby is no stranger to our community. A former full-time recreational dancer, she studied ballet, jazz, tap, and lyrical, and proudly graduated from Protégé Dance Company in 2020. Her experience here has profoundly shaped both her personal and professional journey, instilling in her a deep appreciation for how dance can enrich the lives of young people. Currently, Gabby is pursuing a Bachelor of Commerce degree at Ontario Tech University, following her successful completion of an Honours diploma in Entrepreneurship and Small Business from Durham College. Outside of her academic pursuits, Gabby has always enjoyed working with kids and is dedicated to making a positive impact in the community. In her spare time, she volunteers with the youth at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church in Ajax, ON. In her new role, Gabby will be available to assist both students and parents, manning the front desk, answering phone calls, managing accounts, and addressing any questions, comments, or concerns. Gabby is incredibly excited to return to the studio and contribute to the community that played such a crucial role in her development. We are equally excited to have her on board and look forward to the positive impact she will continue to have at Protégé Dance Company.
