How does the VIS support your career in high performance sport?
The VIS provides incredible support for both me and my career. I’m super grateful for all the staff at VIS, especially after spending a lot of time there during rehab. Everyone went above and beyond to help me through that period, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without their support.
Most memorable sporting moment?
My first doubles on snow. It was one of the scariest moments of my sporting career, but also one of the proudest.
What do you enjoy most about your sport?
It’s hard to pick just one thing! I love the friendships and teammates I’ve gained through aerials, but nothing beats the feeling of flying when you hit a jump.
Advice to your younger self?
Chill out a bit, lol. Trusting the process is important, and overthinking every step along the way definitely doesn’t help!
Go-to meal before competing?
Cereal, milk, and coffeeeeee.
If you could have dinner with any three people, who would they be?
Hamish Blake, Andy Lee, and Tom Holland. (All my celebrity crushes)
What do you enjoy doing outside of sport?
I love spending time with my family, being active outdoors, and making the most of nature. I also enjoy doing art and getting lost in a good book.
