Mini Bio

Originally from Fife, I moved to the Highlands in 2018 to study Adventure Tourism Management Degree. While studying, I gained qualifications in Mountain biking and other sports and did two years of coaching and guiding at Nevis Range, the home of the Downhill World Cup. My passion for the outdoors helped me to create a career, especially with a focus on resilience and mental health through outdoor exploring in Scotland and Greenland. The Highlands are my home and always will be. After finishing my degree this spring, I have recently moved to the Cairngorms to work as an Operations Assistant as well as guiding for Wilderness, starting my next big adventure chapter.

Favourite Place to Play

Anywhere in the Highlands and everywhere that has sustainable mountain bike trails! The Aonach Eagach ridge in Glen Coe is a particular favourite.
