Two 5th places at the Enduro World Series, 1st at Crankworx Air DH in Rotorua, and a 3rd at Megavalanche

I am really proud of some of the complicated cases I took on working as a physiotherapist. It was hard work having to think outside the box and go the extra mile but I really felt like I made a difference.

I love the freedom and the places it takes you. For me, it incorporates everything I love; adventure, nature, adrenaline, cool equipment, health and fitness.

It is great to be involved with a trusted and cool brand specifically dedicated to women. I love the design of the bikes and Liv gear so I can look good and feel fast on the tracks.

Anywhere with mountains. My favourite riding trips have been to Canada, Italy, and the French Alps.

Sushi, muesli with fresh fruit, chocolate, burgers... I love food. 

I love riding with other fast ladies, it's really motivating and great fun to push/ encourage each other.

My parents got my brothers and me into biking at an early age, we would go on leisurely family rides together and picnics. When I was 15 I saw an ad in the newspaper advertising a local club ride and I went along. That was my first experience of mountain biking and was well out of my skill level but I absolutely loved it and enjoyed the challenge of a new sport that took me outdoors. I was hooked from day one and never looked back from there.

When I was a teenager I tried to introduce my friends to this new and wonderful sport I had discovered. None of my friends were overly keen on it, I wasn't a great teacher back then and they all crashed on the first ride which put them off. After I became a physio, I was much better at breaking down movements and skills and being able to explain and teach. I actually taught a few of my patients with chronic pain to ride bikes again to help increase fitness and exercise tolerance in a low impact way. I then took it one step further and started coaching individuals and groups bike skills to raise money for my first year racing as a privateer.

Group rides and women-specific events aimed at fun and participation.

One of my favourite quotes is from Winnie the Pooh "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think, and loved more than you ever know."
