Fern is a Nordic ski coach from the Midlands. As a homegrown athlete she has gone through the UK pathway system, from club rollerskiing in England to BNDS, Junior Team and then British Nordic Ski Team – but her goal now is to bring Nordic and Para Nordic skiing to others in the UK. Since competing at the 2017 World Championships, her focus has turned to coaching and is now in a role as the GB Para Nordic Pathway Coach. Fern is also involved in various levels of governance in the sport as member of the Snowsport Scotland & GB Snowsport Nordic committees and Chair of Snowsport England Nordic.
