Anna is now looking to inspire your audience by sharing her secret of what it takes to be the best you can be!

Anna loved sport, dance and being outdoors as a child but didn’t excel until she discovered snowboarding at 16. After getting her degree, she moved to the French Alps and later Japan to combine work and snowboarding, aspiring to compete for GB but struggling to afford to train.

Anna began competing in boardercross in 2004. In a boardercross race in Japan in 2006, she suffered a Spinal Cord Injury which left her paralysed from the waist down. Anna was distraught at the thought that she would never snowboard again but as soon as she discovered monoskiing, she set herself the goal of competing in the Paralympics. She achieved this only 3 years after first trying monoskiing.
