New start...

It's been over two years since I finished studying full time, I had a great seasons of almost full time racing. In September I finally took up my place at the University of Manchester. I'm now studying for a BA in French and Business Management. I'm extremely fortunate to have been awarded a scholarship by SPORTmanchester which will allow me to continue with my ski racing career alongside my studies. It will help me to manage my time studying and training and they provide me with strength and conditioning coaching ans physio - things I have never had full access to before!

I will be competing for the university this year on the British BUCS series as well as training with the British Ski Academy. The next camp for me will be in Canada. I'm extremely excited, as it will be my first time skiing and competing outside of Europe. There are some amazing training opportunities while i'll out there and plenty of FIS starts! 

I'm extremely grateful to have continued support from Bounce Balls, POC Sports (2Pure Active), Reusch UK and X Bionic but I'm still looking for help and support for this season, balancing student life with a competitive sports career is never easy! So if anyone out there is interested in what i'm doing and wants to help or knows anyone who would please get in contact! 

I'll try to keep you updated with everything ski related! While trying to remember how to study!

New Plan of Action.... Want to be involved?!

A blog update will be coming shortly following my summer glacier training in Les Deux Alpes and Zermatt!



I'm happy to announce I'll be starting studying at university in September at Manchester doing French and Business Management. I'm desperately looking for any new support to help me continue my ski racing career whether it's advice, aiding travel arrangements, contributions towards new ski boots and a race suit. I'm extremely lucky to be offered a once in a lifetime training camp in Canada in November with the opportunity to train and compete in races. This comes alongside the British Ski Academy's new coaching team of ex Canadian WC team coaches. I'm looking for anyone who is willing to help with costs for transportation or training fees or knows someone who might be able to. I'm aiming to try and qualify for the winter universiade games to compete for GB and Manchester University and one of the very few British winter sports athletes attempting to continue their ski racing career alongside studying. I'm very fortunate to be recognised by my university and been awarded a sports scholarship. If you know anyone who is interested in helping young British athletes, with contributions big or small please don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you so much!
