Short Bio:

Hello I am 14 years old and have been Skiing since I was three and a half years old on annual holidays.

In November 2010, my father and I moved from the UK to Les Gets in the French Alps.

In the 2011/2012 winter season I took up Snowboarding at school and fell in love with the sport.

February 2013, whilst boarding with friends I was spotted by the GB team who were training on my local mountain, to my delight I was asked if I would be willing to trial for the GB team, after which I was accepted into the GB Elite Junior SBX team.

Unfortunately at the end of my first day training with the Team I broke my wrist, this was only three weeks prior to the Brits, which I did enter in a cast and won Gold.

My Ultimate ambition is to snowboard for Team GB in the 2018 Winter Olympics.
