About Me

I am a DOB 2004 British Team U21 ski racer from Kent, UK. Currently ranked No. 1 in the UK for both Downhill and Super G disciplines, after an early start to the season down in the southern hemisphere racing the south American cup in Chile.

First on Skis at 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 a patchy 2 years of knee injury taking me onto Ambition before rejoining Apex 2100 on their Post Graduate Programme.

The list of my recent achievements a can be found below.

I am fully committed to a rigorous all year round fitness program and outside of skiing I apply myself to competing in weight training, cycling and various multi events. 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 GCSEโ€™s (10) and A levels (A, A, B in 2022) - for the time being I am 100% focussed on skiing competitively before considering a place at university.

In the 22/23 ski season I achieved my goal which was attending the World Junior Ski Championships in St Anton and to represent the British Team. It was a wonderful experience and I hope to qualify again in my next couple of years as a junior ski racer in the U21 category.

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.
