I was one and a half years old when I put my skis on for the first time in my life. It was the moment, when I decided to follow my biggest dream and become a ski racer.

I was a member of the Swiss National Team of Swiss-Ski for 8 years and raced down the ski slopes with  120 kilometres per hour and more. In 2015, I retired from ski racing. Skiing became my favourite hobby: enjoying deep powder snow on a brilliant winter day is simply thrilling! Supporting my sister in the World Cup circuit keeps me connected to my roots.

During summer I spend a lot of time on the airfield at Kägiswil which is also where I passed my private pilot license exam. It is always a pleasure to go on a short trip, flying around the alps. I have done my advanced aviation training in Zurich-Kloten where I got my commercial pilot license in October 2019 and since 2021 I work as a First Officer for Fly7. Furthermore, I enjoy playing golf, reading books and watching movies.

Together with my long-standing sports psychologist Dr. Christian Marcolli I am presenting “Making it happen”, a speach providing insight into the world of high performance sports, and my way to the Olympic gold medal. My collaboration with Dr. Marcolli also resulted in a book called “Making it happen – Von Engelberg nach Sochi”, which is only available in German though. Since we got so many amazing feedbacks, of course there is a sequel: “A True Athlete”, our new keynote was realized with the help of my sister Michelle. The book accompanying this talk is available in four languages here.

In spring 2022 I graduated with a master degree in physics at ETH Zurich. Since February I am a mom to a wonderful girl. She is simply magic and we enjoy every minute together.
