When and why did you start skating?
I started skating in 2017, because I was looking for something different in that period of my life, a way to escape from my mind and explore new ways of moving.
What’s your favourite thing about skateboarding?
One of my favorite things in skateboarding is the feeling of being present when you are doing a trick and the process of achieving that!
Why did you decide to work with FMS, and what exactly do you do?
I decided to work with FMS because since I was a child I wanted to help other people in a more fun and creative way. I think skating is exactly that! In Free Movement I work as a skate instructor and I am one of the van drivers.
What’s your current setup?
My current set up is a Lover skateboard, independent trucks and spitfire wheels!
What do you do apart from working for FMS?
Apart from FMS I am working as a dental technician, I do contemporary dancing and I am hoping to create an eco friendly clothing brand!
Favourite place you’ve skated?
Royal Oak Skatepark in London!
