Milestones

OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES
Debuted at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games with two appearances in the 10km freestyle distance and sprint. Despite failing to qualify for the sprint classic quarter-final, she was proud of her efforts. "It was OK; it wasn’t quite as fast as I wanted but I definitely gained a lot of experience skiing with all these amazing girls." (mountainviews.mailcommunity.com.au, 14 Feb 2018)

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
Competed at Falun 2015 where her best, and only, individual result was 46th in the 30km mass start.
She chose to skip the Oberstdorf 2021 event due to COVID-19 related concerns.

Competed at two Junior World Championships - Liberec 2013 and Val di Fiemme 2014 - where she posted her best results with the 48th in the sprint and 62nd in skiathlon.

At the U23 World Championships at Soldier Hollow 2017, her best result was 29th in the sprint.
