Influence of Edge on skiing:
The binding is amazing! I feel really safe when skiing and it helps me to be confident knowing that I can give my 100% when I’m on the water! I really like EDGE because I can stay on top of the ski more. My skiing is way more consistent since I started using EDGE!

Best waterski memory:
My best waterski memory was winning the u21 world championship in Canada last summer. I will never forget that tournament were I won the semi finals and I was top seeded for the finals. I remember I left the dock knowing the distance that I needed to win the tournament and I did it on my second jump. I will never forget the moment that I saw the board with my jump distance and realizing that I achieved one of my goals and dream since I was a little girl. This moment made me realize that all the hard work from my coaches, family and I paid off!!!
