Skateboarding

My passion for skateboarding has led me to work with major brands, companies and charities across the globe both as a film maker and skateboarder. I’ve also taught at events for Vans and Nike SB as a skateboard instructor. I use the power of film to showcase the female skateboarding scene and challenge a male dominated industry.

Skateboarding Vlogs

Skateboarding has taken me around the world, helping me gain a
broader perspective on life and utilising skills as a skateboard instructor.
Below are a few examples of some of my most memorable trips.

Volunteering With SkatePAL

In 2016 I travelled to the West Bank for the first time with the charity SkatePAL. It was a valuable experience that developed my skills my skills as a skateboard instructor and helped me to build connections with families and children living under military occupation.

Surf Skate Yoga Retreat

Urban Hippie Collective is a female run company spreading healthy vibes and creating safe learning environments for women. I've helped teach skateboarding on their retreats in Portugal two years in a row and couldn't think of a better way to spend my Easter holidays.

Jerusalem Skater Girls

Jerusalem is one of the oldest most holy cities in the world and also home to the Jerusalem Skater Girls. I was fortunate enough to meet up with these amazing women to discover more about the female skate scene in such an unusual setting, and how they deal with gender stereotypes and discrimination.
