Where you live: Manchester soon Barcelona (for a few months)
What you do: Party a lot, study fashion and I skate
Years riding: 5-6
Favorite place to skate: Barcelona
Skateboarding since? I was about 14/15 and I’m now 21 soo.... it used to be intense all day ever day. I wish it still could be like that. Good old days.
Best skate spots with memories: Barcelona summer 04, girlie camps. First year I’d met other girl skaters and my first time in Barcelona with them all. I was so inspired.
Studying: I study 'design management for fashion retail' at the University of Manchester. I love it. I like being inspired to create things.
Partying or chilling? Both are needed, but these days partying seems to have taken over slightly. Festivals are incredible because you get to do both with a crew of good people, especially if it’s sunny. Love a dirty rave every now and then..
Style: makes me tick. I’m so interested in how people adopt a certain look to express themselves. Some think its shallow but I think it’s really important.
Fave tunes: - Right now...Old Madonna, Burial, Liquid drum n bass, and as much as I get bullied about it cheesy trance music. It’s the best to skate too. Partial to a bit of wobbly bassline too. Rolling around to rhythm is a dancer.. Perfect.
Fave skating buddies: Any Rogue and Rockstar teamates. Good times!
Loves: Hats, morals, open minded people, colours. Hates- haters, rudeness, maths.
