About

Aloha! I’ve been surfing since I can remember. I surfed my first contest when I was 7 and it’s been my biggest passion ever since. I love chasing barrels, practicing airs, and spending as much time in the water as possible. Whether it's training or competing, every surf session is a chance to learn something new and push myself a little further. In 2024, I had the incredible honor of joining the Swiss National Surf Team. I have represented Switzerland at the 2024 and 2025 ISA World Junior Championships in El Salvador and Peru and also at the 2024 EUROKIDS event in Tenerife, Spain. These were all such amazing experiences that made me even more excited for what's ahead. Some of my big accomplishments include: 1st at 2024 U14 Hawaii State Championships at Ala Moana Bowls, made semi finals at the 2024 US Nationals Championships at Lowers, and made finals at the Rip Curl Grom Search Nationals in 2023, 2024 and 2025. I love barreling spots like Honolua Bay and Windmills. I'm super grateful for the support of my amazing sponsors—Hurley, Lost Surfboards, Mana Mentors, Hi Tech Surf Sports and Belle Surf Cafe. I love competing and can’t wait to keep growing, learning, and chasing waves all over the globe.
