My Story
I’ve been skiing since the age of four, with family trips to Italy and Austria sparking a lifelong love for the mountains. At 20, I took the leap and moved to the Alps to turn that passion into a career. I completed my Level 1 and 2 qualifications in Meribel, training under the guidance of Mike Crawford and Craig Conkie.
As I worked towards my Level 3 and 4 certifications, I gained invaluable experience teaching for Altitude in Grindelwald and Wengen. More recently, I’ve embraced new challenges, spending last season working independently in Verbier and coaching for the Kandahar Ski Club in Mürren.
"When you’ve been skiing your whole life, the mountains become more than just a destination—they’re a second home."
Skiing has shaped my life in every way, but when I’m not carving lines down the slopes, you’ll find me running my own catering business in Sheffield, where I channel the same passion for excellence into the kitchen.
Whether coaching racers or helping clients discover their confidence on the snow, I bring energy, expertise, and a genuine love for skiing to everything I do.
