When did you start skiing? How did you get started?

I started skiing when I was 3 years old when mom put me in regular ski lessons: I did lessons until I was 10.

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

My stepbrothers were all freestyle skiers and that is why my mom put me and my two sisters in to the sport as well when I was 11. I skied at my home hill in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec my whole childhood.

What your skiing career goals?

I wish to make the World Cup team in the next few years and compete on the World Cup circuit. My goal is to go to the Olympics and represent Canada. I want to travel the world, meet new people and live life in the moment.

How do you spend your time off the slopes?

I love being active, either in the gym or doing activities outside with friends. I also spend time studying and reading books for school.

What is a fun fact that the average person wouldn’t know about you?

I have an identical twin sister.

What is your favourite results (to date)?

Finishing 4^th in Big Air at Junior Worlds was such a surprise. I had no idea I could do so well.

Shout-outs?

To everyone who supports me from home and my past coaches that have helped me get this far!
