      Hooked: Peace on Ice

About Me

In the blink of an eye, I went from being an active, autonomous athlete to  suffering a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that took 70% of my vision and nearly my life. A sport accident changed my life in a split second, now I aim to be mindful in every moment and make every second count adventuring in mountains around the world.
