Bio:

I am a 21 year-old pro-skier based out of Salt Lake City. I currently attend the University of Utah and am working towards a double major in English and Journalism and a minor in Spanish. I find that the juggle between academics and athletics brings balance to my life, and enriches my potential as an athlete. I am currently pursuing my journalistic aspirations through an internship at Powder Magazine and freelancing about my adventures on the road. While skiing is my primary focus in life, I plan on combining both my talents in the upcoming seasons to have fun and love life!

Skiing History:

I learned how to ski at 1 1/2 years old and have been charging ever since. Whether it was in my mum’s program CB Cruiser’s, which introduced me to the legendary steeps at Crested Butte, or chasing gates, I loved to be on the hill. I attended high school at Crested Butte Academy and raced for their team until my love for the steep and deep took over. After introducing the idea of a freeride team with my favorite ski buddy, Asher Crank, CBA took on Wendy Fischer, Woody Lidenmyer, and Carrie-Jo Chernoff to help us achieve our dreams. That was in 2004, and the past four years have been a blur of chasing snow storms, making friends, and smiles.
