Short Bio:
I started snowboarding at the age of 7 with my family and school friends. My first competition was with the Ski Club in Bad Ragaz, Switzerland in 2000. My passion for Snowboarding grew quickly. I started training in the junior snowboard team with the Ski Club, Bad Ragaz. I reached my goal in 2007, after being placed 4th in the Under 16 Swiss Championships. The 2008 season went extremely well and I finished the season in 2nd place in the Swiss Championships.
After a bad injury in 2009 and a long recovery throughout 2010, I joined the circuit again, finishing 3rd in the Swiss Championships and gaining a place in the Swiss Snowboarding «C- National Team». In 2012, I was placed in the European Team, raced on the European circuit and participated in my first World Cup.
In Spring 2013, I was contacted by the British Snowboard Team and was invited to join them. Since July 2013, I have been training with the GB Team – my passion and dream continues!
