What do you do during your training which is key to your success?

I work on getting height in my training, which the judges like so it gets me more points in competition. 

What are you most nervous about when competing?

Just falling in my run, and it always makes me nervous looking down the pipe with all the lights and people.

Who would you say is your biggest fan and why?

My biggest fan is my parents, they’ve always supported me and are very proud of what I’ve achieved.

What is the best piece of advice you have been ever given?

Just to have fun and enjoy the sport and competing. Doing this you progress more and just relax.

What are your future plans?

I am training through the year and following the competition circuit, and long term plan to qualify for the next Olympics.

What are your tips for those who begin now?

I would say really train the technical side of skiing, it is really beneficial when going into freestyle if you can ski really well.
