When did you start skiing and how did you get started?

My parents introduced me to skiing when I was two years old.

 

What inspired you to get into freestyle skiing? How old were you? What was your first club?

I started doing moguls when I was 9 years old. I have always loved skiing in the glades and jumping side hits . After the Sochi Olympics in 2014, my siblings and I joined the Belle-Neige ski club which was an easy choice for us.

 

What are your skiing career goals?

I want to be on the World Cup team and travel around the world to compete for podiums at World Cups and the Olympic Games.

 

How do you spend your time off the slopes?

I love doing sports!! When I’m not on the slopes, I practice another sport, no matter which one. In the summer, I enjoy mountain biking and wake surfing with my friends and family.

 

What are some fun and unique things about you that most people don’t know?

I LOVE Patagonia clothing

 

What are your favourite results (to date)?

  1. 2nd at the 2022 Apex Classic. It felt special because it was the first competition of that season.
  2. 4th at the 2023 FIS Junior World Ski Championships in Italy. It was one of my favorite because I was competing against athletes from all over the world.
