What are your 3 most important values and why?
Authenticity
- I think often people get caught up in portraying an image that is what they believe people want to see, however I believe the most inspiring image to portray is one that’s open, honest and relatable!

Australian big air and slope-style snowboarder
What are your 3 most important values and why?
The words that resonate with me the most are acceptance, presence and fearlessness.
- Acceptance
Acceptance to me is when you have been dealt a difficult situation and you can tackle it head on with a smile. Accepting things when times are challenging isn't an easy task but thats why I think it's a superpower.
-Presence
Don't be concerned with what was and what will be. Presence is as simple as taking a deep breath and following it down into your chest.
-Fearlessness
The happiest people I know don't fear a challenge, they seek it. Being fearless can sometimes be mixed up with stupidity, but I believe if you're present you'll understand the difference between a stupid decision and smart decision.
Whats your mantra?
"It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice."
Whats your mental health tip?
1. Spend at least 5 minutes a day deep breathing
2. Learn to meditate
What does being a good human mean to you?
It means creating a clean and positive path for others.
