| When did you begin XC Skiing: |
Skiing has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My dad skied for Australia back in the day, and both my parents passed down their passion for the sport. I grew up bouncing (and skiing) between the snowy woods of Norway and the mountains of Australia, two completely different worlds, but both shaped who I am as an athlete today. |
| What I love most about XC Skiing: |
There's something special about traveling, training, and competing alongside teammates who share the same goals. And there's not much that beats skiing on fast corduroy in beautiful scenery. |
| Favourite place to compete internationally: |
Cogne, Italy. Beautiful tracks, great food, and good racing. |
| Favourite race style / distance: |
10km skate |
| Career highlights / best results: |
12th in the Women's relay at World Champs 2025, 39th in the 10km skate at World Cup Cogne 2025, 4th in the 15km skate at NCAAs New Hampshire 2021 |
| Training advice: |
A few principles I train by: Train with purpose, trust your own process, and train your body - not the plan. |
| When I am not skiing / training I am: |
cooking! |
