Fun Fact
I’m a pretty multifaceted person. I’m a skier at heart, but I’m also a total city girl who loves fashion, coffee shops, DIY and all things girly.
What do you love most about the sport?
I love that it gives you the freedom to express yourself. There’s no single right way to ski, you bring your own style, creativity, and personality to every run. It’s also an incredibly inclusive community, and I’m really proud that there’s room for everyone to be themselves.

Advice to younger athletes out there
Never give up. You’re going to stumble, you’re going to face setbacks, and there will be moments when things feel really hard. But those moments won’t define you. What defines you is how you get back up, learn from them, and keep moving forward. Stay focused on your vision. Have a clear goal, trust the process, and keep showing up every day. Success doesn’t come from never failing, it comes from refusing to quit.
