Katerina Paul (She/Her)

Snow Australia

I am cross country skier and am a part of the Australian national team and a professional marathon racing team based out of Switzerland. I come from a small country town outside of Melbourne, and have been based between Australia and Switzerland for a number of years now due to my skiing commitments.

I aim to continue advocating for gender-inclusive and LGBTQ+ affirming practices across all levels of sport, especially in governance where decisions shape the everyday experiences of athletes and sport participants.

Beyond policy, I want to continue creating space for conversation and education. Whether that’s through public speaking, writing, or one-on-one advocacy. I believe that visibility and representation matter, and that inclusive environments start with informed leadership and empowered communities.

As someone who holds multiple roles within sport: Athlete, journalist, board member, and advocate. I am in a unique position to influence change from several angles. I hope to use this platform to amplify the voices of LGBTQ+ athletes, challenge discriminatory practices, and help build a sporting culture where everyone feels safe, seen, and supported.
