Started skiing when she was two and a half years old in Manigod, a little village in the French Alps. Was part of the local alpine ski club until she was 11 years old. Then changed disciplines and joined the la Clusaz freestyle club. (Athlete, May 2021)
Thrill-seeking was in her DNA. Decided to change disciplines because she wanted to do something that made her happier and more excited about skiing. She was four when she first got thrown off a tower, but she loved it.
"It’s definitely been inside me, the whole adrenaline thing. I was definitely not forced, but I guess seeing my dad do it all the time and my brothers, although one of my brothers didn’t do it until he was like 14 because he was actually really scared. But I just haven’t really been that scared of it, I’ve just been excited to be a part of it and I can’t really explain it. It’s just part of who I am...Freeskiing has always been so much fun, it never gets boring. There's always something new to learn and I love the challenge to push my limits." (Athlete, May 2021; stuff.co.nz, 26 Sep 2021)
She had dreamed of competing at the Olympic Winter Games ever since her dad took her to watch the event at Sochi in 2014. He was starting up a bungy site in the Olympic city, and was going there quite a lot and they actually ended up going as spectators and she watched the Olympics and saw the level of skiing. Now she wants to compete at the Olympic Winter Games and bring back a medal. (Athlete, May 2021; stuff.co.nz, 26 Sep 2021)
