Jess is from Queenstown, New Zealand. She originally grew up ski racing for the Queenstown Alpine Ski Team before making the switch to downhill MTB in 2018, where she quickly developed a love for the sport.
In her downtime, Jess enjoys staying active off the bike—whether it's surfing, playing a round of golf, skiing, or snowboarding. You can also find her behind her laptop working on her interior design studies. Jess’ favourite place to ride will always be Queenstown, thanks to its huge biking community and the incredible variety of tracks available.
