Briefly describe yourself… I am a friendly, laid-back girl who loves my home town, relaxing with my friends and family, and surfing. What is your philosophy on life? My philosophy is to always strive for what you want, no matter how out of reach it may seem.

And always do it with a smile. What do you like about surfing? I like being in the ocean and just having the feeling of letting go. I also love to surf with my friends and share the fun together. How has your winter been? My winter has been really fun. Where have you been surfing? Do you get nervous before competitions?

What is your favourite riding spot and why? My favourite surf spot is Koki beach. It changes a lot, making it different every time.
