ABOUT ME

Ever since I could walk, I have loved to ski.  Now, at the age of 25, cross country skiing is my total passion.  I strive to achieve excellence in my own career as well as inspiring up and coming New Zealand skiers.

 

Previously, I have been competitive at the elite level, experiencing success in various World Cup and World Championship events globally.  I have also been highly successful competing in other endurance sports notebly Athletics and Triathlon.

 

I took the 2013/14 season off international competition to focus on completing my double degree (BSc Mathematics, BAppSci Sports Technology) and maintained my fitness through some local triathlon races.  However, for the 2014/15 season I have returned to the Northern hemisphere and can't wait to pull on a bib and race!
