2016
Began moguls skiing in 2010, when she did her first mogul competition. Her mother had randomly signed her up together with her younger brother for a random programme at the Killington Ski Club after they had successfully completed all levels of ski school at Killington Resort. The programme they were signed up for turned out to be moguls. (Athlete, Mar 2021)
Thinks the combination of both skiing and jumping is indescribable and loves the skill and precision it takes to execute a mogul run perfectly, as well as the accompanying satisfactory feeling: "There's always something more to improve, which is part of the reason as to why I keep coming back to my inherent passion and love for the sport. I absolutely love the feeling of standing in the gate, flushed with utter confidence in my capabilities and the 30-second performance that lies ahead." (Athlete, Mar 2021)
As well as becoming an Olympic gold medallist and a World Cup overall champion, hopes to be a fantastic teammate, sportswoman, and role model for future generations of mogul skiers to come. (Athlete, Mar 2021)
Representing the United States of America on the World Cup podium (third at 2017 World Cup in Tazawako - dual moguls). (Athlete, Mar 2021)
Artistic gymnast Simone Biles (USA), with a combined total of 32 Olympic and World Championship medals, Biles is tied as the most decorated gymnast of all time. (Athlete, Mar 2021)
Her parents, as they have been there for her since day one: "I am always incredibly thankful for their support and their love. It is because of them that, despite all of the internal and external pressures associated with being a professional athlete striving to achieve Olympic dreams, I have realized that." (Athlete, Mar 2021)
Loves listening to pump-up music (either pop or rap) immediately before dropping into her competition run. (Athlete, Mar 2021)
Trust the process. (Athlete, Mar 2021)
