Was drawn to freeskiing mostly because of her gymnastics background, finding joy in pushing her body to learn new and difficult maneuvers. "I was always handstand walking around the house and doing back-handsprings and backflips during recess. When I finally found skiing, I realized it incorporated a lot of the same aspects but in a much more freeing atmosphere. I love the feeling of adrenaline that comes with soaring through the air."
