Short Bio:

I started skiing at the age of 6 on a family holiday in Chamonix.  My first race training took place at Southampton dry slope. I attended BSA and Martin Bell Camps and started competing in regional races which led to my first snow camp and national races on snow.

2015/2016 will be my second year of FIS racing and having skied with The British Ski Academy for 7 years, this season I will be joining Team Evolution in Austria. I will be training alongside other British Team Athletes and following their academic programme as I start my A' Levels.
