She's worked for Snowboarder Mag and Brighton, been a part of countless snowboard films, and worked a ton of jobs outside of snowboarding space as well. This has all led her to her current project: 'Wayward'. She's focused on documenting all of the women in snowboardings past who have played pivotal roles in progression and equality. In turn, she's drawn connections between this progression and the incredible women snowboarders today.
