1. How do you stay motivated and push yourself in training?

I always want to get the best out of myself, I know that if I really push myself during training sessions and think about my current goal this will help me achieve the results I want.

2. Many athletes have pre-game rituals that help them get into the zone. What are some of your personal pre-game rituals or routines that you believe help you get in the zone before hitting the beach or pool?

I have a pump up playlist that I listen too, to get me fired up ready to compete!

3. Reflecting on your career so far, what would you consider as the most memorable or defining moment?

I broke my first South Australian and South Australian All Comers record in the 400m free during this short course season, that was an unexpected proud moment so very memorable. My defining moments actually come from races I have disappointment with, this gives me an opportunity to learn and grow.

4. Are there any specific achievements or milestones that you are particularly proud of and that you feel have significantly impacted your journey as an athlete?

Winning state titles in both surf and swimming in the same season two years in a row, this showed me that hard work, effort, determination, and a positive attitude can really pay off.
