Fun fact
I was born in Australia and moved to Canada when I was five. I pretty much instantly fell in love with skiing and have been obsessed ever since.
What do you love most about the sport?
I will never be a wingsuit person or base jumper, so skiing deep powder in the trees and popping off pillows is the closest I will get to flying. On the perfect day it feels effortless.
Theme song
Changes all the time but my kid is pretty into Metallica right now.
Advice to younger athletes out there
A cliché as it sounds, do what you love: skiing is a fun sport; make sure you are having the most fun of your life on skis. It still feels that way to me. Also, if you want to be a professional athlete, put the pro in professional. By being punctual with emails, working hard at social media and conducting yourself in a manner that a company would want to work with you. Good work ethic and being nice to people go a lot further than results.
