Career

Cashman made her World Cup debut in January 2017.[1] She competed at the 2020 World Junior Alpine Skiing Championships where she won a bronze medal in the combined discipline.[2]

Cashman qualified for the 2021 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships, however, she missed the competition due to injury.[3][4] During training for the 2020–21 season, she crashed and was unconscious and suffered brain damage.[5] She was hospitalized for eight days following her crash, as she sustained a minor MCL strain, hematoma in both hips, and a temporary loss of feeling in her foot from bruising.[6] As a result, this ended her season early.[7]

Cashman represented the United States at the 2022 Winter Olympics, where she finished 27th in the super-G and 17th in the downhill, the top American finisher.[8]
