About

Aloha! I’ve been surfing since I was three years old, 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. When I’m not surfing, I’m usually spearfishing, hanging with friends, or daydreaming about snowboarding (I don’t get to do it nearly enough!). In early 2024, I had the incredible honor of joining the Swiss National Surf Team. That year, I got to represent Switzerland at the ISA World Junior Championships in El Salvador and the EUROKIDS event in Tenerife, Spain—such amazing experiences that made me even more excited for what's ahead. Some highlights so far: I won the 2024 U14 Hawaii State Championships at Ala Moana Bowls, made the semifinals at the 2024 US Championships at Lowers, and reached Finals Day at the Rip Curl Grom Search Nationals in both 2023 and 2024 at the Palm Springs Surf Club. My favorite waves? That’s a tough one—but barreling spots like Honolua Bay and Windmills are definitely up there! I'm super grateful for the support of my amazing sponsors—Hurley, Lost Surfboards, and Hi Tech Surf Sports. You guys help make all of this possible. And hey, there’s still some room left on my boards if you’re looking to team up—I’d love to represent more awesome brands on this journey! Thanks to everyone cheering me on—your support means the world. Can’t wait to keep growing, learning, and chasing waves all over the globe
