I first began sailing at age 5, and after 5 years of sailing around the Pittwater moorings I decided to try my hand in racing, beginning in the Manly Junior class. 3 years later I won the state and national titles and switched to the Optimist class, where I was lucky enough to be selected to compete in several international regattas including the World Championships, held in the Caribbean.

I then teamed up with another successful young northern beaches sailor Shaun Connor, and together we achieved our goal of being selected to represent Australia at the Youth World Championships in the 29er class. 

• After only 6 months as a team we were crowned the Australian Junior Champions (2013)
• 6 months later, we placed 6th at the Open World Championships
• In 2014 we won the Australian Youth Championships and qualified for the Australian Youth Sailing Team
• That year we competed at the Europeans, Youth Worlds and Open Worlds, placing 9th, 12th and 8th respectively

After sailing with different partners in different boats for several years whilst adding more national and world titles to our names, we teamed up again in 2018 with the goal of being selected for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. We spent the vast majority of 2019 racing overseas, placing inside the top 3 in our under 23 bracket in every event we competed in and qualifying for the Australian Sailing Squad for 2020, however we were just overlooked for Olympic selection after a challenging result at the 2020 worlds.

Hungrier, more determined and more practiced in campaigning we are returning to vie for the chance to represent Australia and win a medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. After remaining in Australia for almost 2 years due to the Covid pandemic, we returned to competition in Europe that culminated in a 5th place at the 2022 European Championships. We are now the top seeded Australian boat heading into 2023, a big year of selection regattas in which we must qualify both Australia and ourselves for the Olympics.
