Michaela leads an enviable double-life between the beach and the mountains. Micheala's parents have always been keen skiers, taking her and her brother on trips to the snow from Newcastle each year. At this point she started with Perisher Winter Sports Club as a teenager, where she competed in slope style for many years until someone suggested she should try a Freeride event. After winning her first event in NZ, she was quickly hooked and the invite to join the FWT came quickly afterwards. Today she is living her dream, moving inbetween Australia and Europe to surf and ride, she is the only Aussie ever to win a stop on the Freeride World Tour with the goal of becoming the World Champ. Having secured 2nd place overall in 2020, her rookie year on the tour, Michaela is only just getting started.
