Where It All Started

My parents signed me up for surf life saving at Currumbin surf club when I was 5 however my sister was the age group above me and I joined in with her at only 4 years old. I stuck with the sport because I had lots of friends and I remember looking up to the older girls thinking I want to be like them.

The Journey Nobody Sees

I competed in National Cross Country and Track and field and was very competitive in my age group. Eventually the 4 disciplines of Surf (ski, swim, board and run) took over and I couldn’t fit it all in. Running has helped me become more of an endurance athlete which I am grateful for. I have also been extremely lucky with the support and guidance from my parents. No one would believe how hard they work and what they have sacrificed for my sister and I to travel and compete in this sport and get to experience in life.

Your Greatest Moments

Winning 3 individual national gold medals across 3 different sports (Surf life Saving, Cross Country and Track and Field) in only 3 months was a pretty exceptional accomplishment that I most likely won’t get to experience again.

Beyond the Sport

In between training and school I love rewatching TV shows and Movies. On the weekends I often spend my time with my Sister and a few of my closest Burleigh friends. Burleigh is a very social club with A LOT of girls so there are always social plans for the weekend.
