Bio
How I started:
I started Skiing in France on family holidays when I was two years old. I then started racing in the village races over there and got into racing on the snow when I was seven. After that I started racing on dry slopes in England until I was 12 and began competing for Great Britain when I was 13 at the Children’s International Races until I was 16 years old.
My Greatest Achievement:
My greatest achievement is achieving a fourth place finish at the Children’s World Championships which is still the highest finish of any British woman ever at that event! I had no expectations going into it whatsoever, I was even late for my start! I just went out and sent it, and with no clue that I had done well until my friend came over and hugged me. I am also extremely proud of winning the English Alpine Championships in all disciplines which was held in Bormio.
My Greatest Challenge:
My greatest challenge is overcoming post-concussion syndrome. Skiing is one of those sports where you’re going quite fast, and there are a lot of things to hit. I struggled with it for three years and it affected my vision mostly, but my body also started reacting very oddly to anxiety, almost like a sort of hyper-vigilance, but I would also experience dizziness and headaches as a result of it.
My Hobbies:
Outside of Skiing, you’ll usually find me going to the gym, running, practising my Yoga, or playing rounders with my dog! I also love reading, and I enjoy most books, but I specifically like reading sports psychology and translations of Latin literature. My favourite authors are Jane Austen and Cicero! On top of this I enjoy Sewing and like to collect patches from the places I have visited, along with any water sports like Surfing, spending time with family and friends, cooking, and baking!
My Future Aspirations:
In the future, I’d really like to continue skiing and be competitive on the World Cup Tour, and in the short term I would like to be selected for the Junior World Championships as I have already qualified! At the moment I compete in all discipline’s, but when I’m older I’d like to get into Speed Skiing.
