Where It All Started

I grew up around the ocean, so being in the water has always felt like second nature. What started as a love for the beach quickly grew into a passion for racing, competing and seeing just how far I could push myself.

The Journey Nobody Sees

The setbacks have shaped me just as much as the successes. I’m lucky to have an incredible support system around me, and the friendships and community I’ve found through surf lifesaving have been such an important part of my journey and love for the sport.

Your Greatest Moments

Making the Series at a young age while juggling Year 12 is something I’ll always be proud of, along with winning Aussie titles. I'm proud I took the leap to relocate to the Gold coast to pursue my dreams despite the many challenges I've had along the way.

Beyond the Sport

Outside of racing, I love being around my family and friends. I'm currently studying to be a teacher and am loving working with students who are disengaged to get them to reach their potential. I'm also a huge foodie and love a weekend getaway to explore new places!!
