Short Bio:

I grew up in North East England. My dad being such a keen snowboarder, taught me to snowboard at 2 and a half. I spent many a holiday trying to keep up with my dad and his mates, which seems to have paid off! I entered my first race when I was 12 and won to my surprise!

In 2015 I competed in my first FIS and Europa cup races with the British team, can't wait for the next season training and competing with them!

When I'm not snowboarding, I'm wakeboarding, mountain biking, kitesurfing, surfing, skateboarding and a bit of hockey and netball too!
