After qualifying for my first senior Australian team for the 5,000m at the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, I’ve gone on to proudly represent Australia across multiple distances at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games, 2023 World Cross Country Championships, 2023 Budapest World Athletics Championships, 2023 World Road Running Championships, 2024 Paris Olympics, and the 2025 Tokyo World Athletics Championships.

I’ve also broken two long-standing Australian road records (both more than 20 years old) with my Half Marathon record of 67:17 and 10km record of 30:44.

Despite competing consistently on the world stage, I do not receive any funding or support from my governing body. My only institutional support is $1,500 per year from the South Australian Sports Institute through the Individual Athlete Program. While I’m genuinely grateful for this assistance, it covers only a small portion of the true cost of training and competing at an elite international level.

I’m especially thankful for my personal sponsors, whose support (along with performance-based prize money) helps me continue chasing my athletic goals. I am fully dedicated to becoming the best athlete I can be, with my sights set firmly on the next Olympic Games in Los Angeles 2028 and Brisbane 2032. I dream of representing Australia in the marathon at a home Olympics and being truly competitive on the world stage.

Outside of competition, I am a business owner. Together with my partner Riley, I co-own a running coaching business as well as a coffee shop and running store. Balancing elite sport with running a small business is something I’m proud of, but it also means every financial contribution to my athletic career makes a meaningful difference.

To compete at my best, I spend up to six months each year away from home at altitude training camps and racing blocks in Europe. While some races help with travel, these camps are essential for my development and come at a significant personal cost. For a period, SASI supported my massage therapy expenses, but this assistance has now been cut. Maintaining weekly treatment, crucial for injury prevention and performance, is an ongoing personal expense throughout the year.

I am incredibly grateful to be pursuing my sport at this level and for the support network I already have. I’ve created this page for anyone in my community who may wish to help offset the costs of training camps, travel, and essential medical and performance services.

Thank you for your support and for being part of my journey. It truly means the world to me.
