Snowboard career

Starting her snowboarding journey at age 7 Maria succeeded in joining the National Austrian Snowboard Team[5] and represented Austria at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.[1]

Despite growing up and attending high school in Klosterneuburg, Austria (a 4+ hour drive away from any larger ski area) Maria consistently proved herself as Austria's fastest female snowboardcross athlete.[5] In 2010/11 and 2014/15 she managed to break into the top 10 globally and ended her season ranked 9th worldwide.

Additional career highlights include e.g., a World Cup Win,[8] X-Games, World Championships, 4 National Championship Titles, 6 Europa Cup and 4 North American Cup victories.[5][9] She retired in October 2016.[10]

In tandem with her athletic career Maria was a member of the Austrian Armed Forces Athletic Division ('Heeressport')[7] where she served as a Corporal (2007 - 2012) and acquired Masters and PhD degrees in law at the University of Vienna.[6]
