Away from skateboarding she enjoys snowboarding, surfing and motocross. She is featured on the skate DVD Getting Nowhere Faster, and she was the stunt double for Jennifer Morrison in the film Grind, performing the character's skateboarding scenes, an arrangement made by her team manager at Volcom. In the film MVP 2: Most Vertical Primate she played Sammy Rogers, a young skater.
