General Interest

CHANCE ENCOUNTER UNEARTHS TALENT
Says her entry into the New South Wales state-level training academy in Australia came about after a chance encounter with a coach. "When I was nine I started getting more into the freestyle side of things. The head coach of the New South Wales Institute of Sport halfpipe team, Ben Alexander, spotted me riding the pipe one day with my dad after we had ducked a rope to the pipe which was closed for a development camp. Luckily, instead of getting our passes pulled for ignoring the fact that we weren't allowed in there, I was given the incredible opportunity to join the (NSWIS) team and fly to Colorado for six weeks to train. From that point on I have come to Colorado every year." (Info 2018)

Milestones

Finished 11th in her senior Olympic Winter Games debut at PyeongChang 2018.

Lillehammer 2016 Winter Youth Olympic Games halfpipe silver medallist, despite having missed the main qualification event for the Games. "Even being picked (to represent Australia at the Games) was a miracle on its own because I didn't actually go to the qualifying event. I was really lucky that my other points allowed me through. It's given me a little view into what the real Olympics will be like." (Info 2018)

Has four top-20 finishes at four World Championships (2015-21), her best being 10th in halfpipe in 2021 (Aspen).

2014 Junior World Championships bronze medallist.

Broke into the World Cup top-10 in 2015 finishing ninth in the halfpipe in Cardrona. Top result of sixth in 2017 in Secret Garden.
