A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Happiest with
skis on my feet.

CENTRAL OTAGO ROOTS.
AN INTERNATIONAL DREAM.

Skiing started as something fun. Racing gave me something to chase.

I’m from Cromwell, where the mountains are part of everyday life. I go to Cromwell College and train with the Queenstown Alpine Ski Team.

I love the speed, the challenge and the feeling of getting a turn just right. Behind every race are days of training, gym sessions and plenty of getting back up and trying again.

My long-term dream is to represent New Zealand at the 2034 Winter Olympics. For now, it’s about learning, working hard and making the most of every day on snow.

WHAT COMES NEXT

Two winters.
One big opportunity.

More time on snow means more chances to learn, race and grow.

NEW ZEALAND WINTER

Building the foundations.

Training with QAST, racing at home and putting in the work on and off the mountain.

NORTHERN HEMISPHERE WINTER · 2026/27

Taking the next step.

Working towards a season of overseas training, study and racing — learning from new coaches and competing alongside other young athletes.
