Biography:

I began skiing at the age of 8 and joined the Gordon Skiers as soon as I moved out of the snowplough.

At the age of 10, I raced in my first race abroad at the Mini Brits (British Championships for under 12s) and never looked back.

At the age of 16, I left school to pursue my skiing ambitions. Now at 21, I am a member of the British Senior Ski Team racing at World Cup and Europa Cup level.

I hope to become a serious contender at World Cup level in the coming years and will be very proud to do so under the British flag.
