Already New Zealand's top female surfer, the 20-year-old is setting her sights even higher.
She faces stiff competition from teen sensation Ava Henderson for the title.
The Kiwi surfer has a flight home in December, but no spot in MIQ to go with it.
Among her scalps were touring pros and idols Ella Williams and Paige Hareb.
Ella Williams says it's an ideal time to take stock and reassess.
The World Surf League event, scheduled for Auckland next week, is the latest sporting event cancelled.
Brazilian Adriano De Souza is the latest star confirmed for next month's event.
He last competed in New Zealand in 1993.
The 24-year-old is preparing for the biggest year of her career.
