Life Lately Update:
I became the first Polynesian woman at the World Cups in snowboarding which feels good!
My first season at the World Cups inspired me to want more out of my snowboarding! I now have a new set of goals for this season that I want to achieve! I have a new run that I want and if you know me I will be spending the rest of this season going after it!
When I am not in the Big Island surfing or riding my horses, I am training in Laax, Switzerland in the halfpipe where I spend my down time in Zurich. I am currently trying to become better at speaking in German and desire to go from A1 to B1 German. I finally feel like I am blending in more this season. Compared to 2018, when I first arrived in Switzerland being Emily in Switzerland where fast forward many years later and I have grown to fit in with the Swiss where I now like structure and order more which has felt very rewarding.
I am an overseas athlete where it is hard to train in the halfpipe in Hawaii and American Samoa. I am very lucky that my community back in Hawaii and that American Samoa supports me going after my dreams!
I have grown a lot this season where I feel like challenges only make you better and I am excited to feel really motivated to get new things done!
Mahalo nui loa for all that have helped me by being so supportive of me at the World Cups! I am grateful for Airbnb's support at the World Cups as well!
