My Journey

I am 19 years old and have been snowboarding my entire life. Growing up in Steamboat Springs, what started as a passion quickly turned into a pursuit of competing at the highest level in the world.

After the 2023–2024 season, I earned my first World Cup spot for the following season—marking a major turning point in my career. This moment is captured in the article below:

Chasing the Olympics

To fully commit to my progression, I made the decision to graduate early from Steamboat Springs High School and dedicate myself to qualifying for the 2026 Winter Olympic Games. Throughout high school, I balanced traveling for training and competition while remaining a present and active student.

During my junior year (2024–2025), qualifying for the Olympics became a serious and realistic goal. After returning from a training camp in Chile two summers ago, my coach proposed that I join the World Cup circuit to gain experience, then pursue an Olympic spot the following season.

The challenges and decisions behind that path are explained here:
