I have been training and racing as an elite cross-country skier for many years now and plan to do many more years in the sport. Studying further at university in a degree I’m passionate about has helped me be motivated and excited for my transition one day out of elite sport.

Setting yourself up for the future is so important as an athlete, as you never know when it could end. Furthermore the connections and friendships I have made at university have made my journey as an elite athlete more enjoyable.
