What / who inspires you?

Every day – is a new day to shred, be stoked, discover something/someone new, stomp that trick that you’ve been breaking yourself on and help someone to do the same…..and My girl!

Describe ‘YOU’ in five words

Live, Love, Learn, Search, RIDE

What does your role entail?

Snowboard Instruction/Coaching – All levels, all ages

How did you get your start working in Thredbo?

Thredbo is my home mountain, hands down best all round resort in Aus! It was a no brainer 😉

Why do you LIKE working in Thredbo?

As above, amazing crew!

What makes you HAPPY at work?

As above, amazing team culture/atmosphere, opportunities, my clients and their families (all ages, shapes and sizes and from all walks of life – I never ever stop learning and getting inspired from them!)..and the pay helps too 😉

During your time at Thredbo, what has been your proudest moment?

Winning Snowboard Instructor of the year in my 1st season! Soooo stoked! That meant more to me than words could ever describe.

What has been your greatest professional achievement to date?

Coming back from a stroke, being told I’d never snowboard again…and proving “science” WRONG! If you love and live your passion…nothing can stop you!

Where do you wish to go from here?

Specialise even further, and move into a leader position to inspire and lead others into the epic world of Snow Sports

What challenges do you face in this role?

Limitations I only put on myself

What message do you have to tell others about working in Thredbo?

What are you waiting for!?

Have you met anyone famous during your career in Thredbo?

Many many times from on the slopes, to Apres poolside, and clients…the obvious mention right now – Torah Bright being her home resort makes frequent appearances, hosting her own comp, and just to shred.

Can you bust any Snow Resort career myths?

All work and no play – Myth! Work is play! I get paid to be stoked every day! Best job in the universe!

Tell us about one of your best Thredbo experiences?

Watching my 5-year-old Burton Riglet stomp his Frontboard to 180 out and annihilate the jumpline in Merrits park… AND the smile on every single one of my clients’ faces when they make that 1st turn, or get off a chairlift successfully, or stand up by themselves, or shred their first blue or black run, or stomp that trick they wanted… or just as they found out that they are FABULOUS just because they CAN do what they thought they cant!

Anything else you’d like to add?

Thank you 🙂
