Short Bio:

I moved to Australia, from Scotland, when I was five where I learned to ski in Australia’s alpine region. I began racing when I was twelve with Perisher Winter Sports Club. At the age of thirteen I was selected for the Australian National Children’s Team and represented them between 2013/15. I returned to Scotland to attend school at the end of 2013. I began to compete in international and British races in 2013. I am currently training with EDEP on the excellence programme for Alpine skiing.
