I was born in Switzerland but grew up in Austria where I started skiing as cross training for my alpine skiing racing when i was 7 years old. When I was 18, after I graduated high school I moved to the US to continue my skiing career. In the fall of 2008 I started college in Louisiana where I was able to ski for the University of Louisiana at Lafayette for two years before transferring to the University of Louisiana at Monroe where I skied the rest of my college career. I received my bachelor degree in Biology in Monroe in 2012 and then went to Pharmacy school from which i graduated in 2016 with a PharmD. Now I am in Florida living the dream of a professional skier.
