Verbier has always been a dream of mine, so I feel incredibly lucky to be here and sharing my love of skiing in such a special place.
When I’m not in the Northern Hemisphere, I spend my winters teaching in Australia at Mount Hotham, where my snowsports journey began back in 2012. Since then, skiing has taken me to some amazing places and introduced me to so many wonderful people.
What I love most about teaching is watching people progress, build confidence and discover what they’re capable of on skis. There’s something really special about seeing someone overcome a challenge, achieve something they didn’t think was possible, or simply fall a little more in love with the sport. For me, it’s about more than just improving technique; it’s about sharing the experience, enjoying the mountain, the views and helping people make memories they’ll take with them long after their lesson ends.
