Skiing became a whole new adventure for me thanks to Sofie Noiron, who introduced me to sit-skiing. I’m so grateful to Kyra Visser and Anvasport for giving me my first opportunities on the slopes en François Stander who believed in my skills and allowed me to train with his WeSki team on the slalom in Belgium.
One of the most memorable experiences was in Livigno, where I had the pleasure of skiing under the guidance of the incredible Davide JJ Cusini and his team, and I learned my first giant slalom moves following the cool tips from Piotr Batko.
From that moment, it became serious again. I got a call from the Belgian (Wallonian) Federation / Ligue handisport francophone, inviting me to train with Jérémie, Rémi, Cezar, Max from the Belgian paraski team. After training and showing what I could do to Stéfan Sazio, the coach from the Belgian team, I was accepted onto the team!
That same year, I also had the chance to train with Geertje Derksen from G-Force and was invited to join a few days of training with the Global Para Race Team by Ralph Jegler. The first big challenge came during the festival Handi Neige in Peisey, where I raced in the French championship together with the fabulous Jesper Saltvik Pedersen and the lovely María Martín-Granizo
Even in the summer, training never stopped—carving turns on the glaciers of Les 2 Alpes, Tignes, and Val d’Isère. In autumn, we leveled up with incredible sessions alongside Stefan on the breathtaking glaciers of Saas Fee and Kaprun, where we also kicked off the very first paraski.be demo team training.
Fast forward to 2025: I had the incredible opportunity to train with the Dutch para-team in Leogang and Reiteralm, pushing my skills to the next level. I stepped up as a forerunner in my first GS and SL FIS competition in Leogang, gaining invaluable experience and a deeper understanding of my performance.
Then came the French Cup in Chamonix—a cool moment. This time, I officially raced and did a 2nd place in Slalom, while in GS, I proudly claimed the spot as the first sitskier. An unforgettable experience that fuels my drive for what’s next!
