Growing up in South Africa naturally lead to Lifesaving where I was the national champ in U10 & U14 divisions. As a water baby, surfing was part of my life since very young, but the competition side I only discovered with the Grom Search at 14 where I won the provincial competition. Born to a Swiss mother, I participated in the Swiss National Team trials in 2022 and qualified for the ISA Junior World Surfing Championship in Brazil (2023) and El Salvador (2024). With 18 and school completed (International German School of Cape Town), this is now my first year joining the open dIvision. The QS in Taghazout in February 2025 was a huge highlight competing against the best, observing & learning a lot traveling with my South African training mates such as Luke Thompson and Luke & Connor Slijpen. Surfing is my absolute passion & I can’t wait to start my pro surfing career
