ABOUT
I first started skiing when I was 18 months old, and from a young age I have dreamt of representing New Zealand at both the Winter Olympics and X Games.
Having been selected to join the NZ Development Freeski Team, I am on my way to achieving this dream. My ultimate goal is to represent NZ and win a medal at the Winter Olympics in Milan in 2026, as well as making the Junior World Freeski Championships, several World Cup podiums and an XGames on my way.
