MY STORY
Born in Chelmsford, Essex I first started skiing at the age of three when I went on holiday to Val Thorens with my family. By the time I was six I moved to Châtel, a small town located in the French Alpes, joining the local freestyle team at the age of eleven, following my older brother and sister's footsteps. I started competing at the age of twelve and rapidly gained success obtaining podium positions regularly. In 2017 I competed in my first World Championships at Sierra Nevada. At the end of 2017 season, GB Snowsports contacted my brother, sister and I to be the first British Athletes to create a GB Moguls team. Since then I have been travelling around the World with my older brother and sister by my side competing in World Cup events with a team of now seven members!
The past 2 years have been quite challenging as a whole, beginning with a few changes in the coaching scene and my mental health issues took a big hit with the loss of my Grandpa. I fought my way through trainings and competition after competition trying to make the cut for the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing. Although I was putting down some decent competition runs my results were not the ones I was wanting to see but I pushed through and got my spot in the 2022 Winter Olympic Games along side my sister. I managed to switch everything off in my mind whilst I was there, I believe that I achieved something beautiful and the best part of it is that I found a part of myself again that I thought I had lost ; that fire in my belly had never burnt so strong and the stars in my eyes have never shined so bright. I came 8th, not only a childhood dream to compete in the Olympics but to come back home making history for Team GB being the first Moguls skier in an Olympic final was quite emotional !
