How did you get into your sport? 

"5 Years ago, a friend convinced me to go to a taster session at the Aberdeen dry slope and I really dreaded to go, but when I went and tried it, I fully fell in love and told my parents that'll now be what I want to do. And then I started Freestyle skiing later that year as I saw the older kids at that time doing all these cool tricks on the jump and that’s something I also wanted to do."

What do you love about your sport?

"The atmosphere around the sport and the love all the athletes have for each other, the support is unreal."

What is your proudest sporting achievement(s) to date?

"Getting second place in my first Red Bull rail competition in January and getting Bronze at the European Youth Olympics, which is my first ever proper international competition!"

Any future goals and aspirations?

"I plan to complete in 4 European Cups this season after the European Youth Olympics. It would mean the absolute world to one day compete at the X-Games or The Olympic Games."
