About Me

I am a DOB 2004 European-Cup British Team ski racer from Kent, UK. Currently ranked No. 1 in the UK for Super G and top 3 in Downhill. After an early start to the season, I have been training/racing in Chile, competing in the south American Cup.

First on Skis at the age of 3 being introduced to ski racing by the Downhill Only Club (DHO) at the age of 7. Along with UK training at Bowles, Folkestone, and indoor snow dome at Hemel Hempstead.

At 9 I joined the British Ski Academy (BSA) for my first ski season which continued for many years. I was approached to join Apex2100 at its inception, led by Sir Clive Woodward.

2 years with Apex2100, were followed by an inconsistent 2 years of knee injury taking me onto Ambition before rejoining Apex 2100 on their Post Graduate Programme. Most Apex have developed a 'Speed Team' which I am now a part of as we follow the European Cup circuit.

I am fully committed to a rigorous year round fitness program. My aim is to compete in power lifting events, enter an iron man competition & run a marathon. I am currently studying for my RYA Day Skipper and have recently qualified as Personal Fitness Trainer.

I was educated at Sutton Valance for GCSE's (10) and A levels (A, A, B in 2022) - for the time being I am 100% focused on skiing competitively before considering a place at university.

Ambitions for the future:

Having completed my A levels (Economics A, Geography A, and sport PE B). I am making ski racing my dedicated focus for the foreseeable future.

For the forthcoming coming season I would like to be competitive in FIS races, start racing on the Europa cup circuit, compete at world junior championships and possibly the world championships.

Long term aspirations are to be selected to race the World Cup representing GB.
