My first skiing experience was before I can remember, aged only four in the Portes du Soleil ski area, visiting Chatel in France. Morzine, which is also linked to the Portes du Soleil area, is my family’s favourite resort and a destination we have continued to visit every year. Growing up I developed a love of adventure and awe of the mountains. During my first season, I worked night shifts in Serre Chevalier so I could ski until 3pm every day. Since then, I can’t get enough, and it’s safe to say I’m addicted. I got into the ski industry because it’s gratifying to organise a brilliant trip, especially for people who have never skied before. Also, travelling to resorts for a work trip is a bonus!
Number of Seasons
Two seasons, one in Serre Chevalier in the kitchen and the following year as a childcare rep with Esprit based between St Anton and Obergurgl.

My Favourite Resorts
My favourite has to be Morzine, specifically the village of St Jean d’Aulps. I grew up skiing here and had the best powder day of my life in April in Montriond with a great crowd before eating far too much Tartiflette. There’s so much variety and hidden gems around Montriond that makes it very special.
