What does SheShredsCo mean to you?
When I was first introduced to SheShreds, I thought it was such a cool concept; a community of women from all different ages and backgrounds, who come together to represent the aspiring female in action sports- I just knew I had to be a part of it! Since i've been an ambassador, i've witnessed so many amazing ladies, in a variety of different sports/activities overcome judgement and fear because of the support, encouragement, and advice that this tribe of women offer one another.
For me, Sheshreds is more than just a group, its a family, and I'm glad to call these girls my sisters!
What drives you to do your sport?
I love the fact that skiing is an individual sport. Only you can determine how you progress. I'm driven in skiing to always try to be better, whether it be with my form, with speed, with carving, with jumping, etc. Each year I want to be better and I want to progress! The older I get, the more fear I have in this sport, but my Shred sisters give me that extra push! Skiing has taken me to some beautiful places and on some awesome adventures- those are memories I can never forget!
