| When did you begin XC Skiing: | I started as early as Kindergarten in 2007 but decided to shift from downhill skiing in 2013/2014. | |
| What I love most about XC Skiing: | I love the sense of accomplishment it gives. Not just results, but the work it takes to get to a competitive level. It’s a constant motivator in life that with hard work and dedication you can drive yourself to be better. | |
| Favourite place to compete internationally: | I’m a total sucker for weird venues. I live for racetracks on golf courses or weird paddocks where you’re all waxing out of a worn down shed as a collective. So I’d say anything under that category scratches the itch! | |
| Favourite race style / distance: | Skate 10km’s are an absolute riot, but if the conditions are good and the kick is spot on then a classic 10km is unmatched in my opinion. | |
| Career highlights / best results: |
General career highlights would have to be the team dynamics and friendships I’ve made during my time as a skier. No race or completion will ever top the experiences and joys I’ve shared with people I’ve spent my time skiing with for so long. |
|
| Training advice: | Give it your all, don’t hold back. But most importantly, have fun! Skiing will take you so many incredible places so take it all in. | |
| When I am not skiing / training I am: | Making ski videos to share my love of skiing, watching movies, catching up on university work and slamming pastries! | |
| Pre-race playlist / song: | Anything by Carpenter brut always gets my engine firing. Turbo killer and your mine combo goes insanely hard. | |
| Last Book Read: | Nedd Brockmann’s Keep Showing Up. | |
