I’m the 2025 and 2026 Australian U20 National Champion in both shot put and discus, and I’ve recently been selected to represent Australia at the World U20 Championships in the United States for discus.

This opportunity means everything to me. Over the past several years, I’ve dedicated countless hours to training, competing, recovering, and constantly pushing myself to improve. While most people my age were out socialising or relaxing, I was waking up early for training sessions, spending weekends at competitions, and making sacrifices to chase a goal I’ve dreamed about for years.

Athletics has taught me discipline, resilience, and commitment, and being selected to wear the green and gold is one of the proudest moments of my life. It’s the result of years of hard work, setbacks, and determination to compete at the highest level possible.

None of this would have been possible without my parents. They’ve sacrificed so much to support me, from travelling to competitions and training sessions to helping cover the costs of equipment, coaching, and travel. They’ve backed me every step of the way, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything they’ve done to help me reach this point.

I’m raising funds to help cover the expenses involved in competing at the World U20 Championships, including flights, accommodation, team costs, training, and competition preparation. Every contribution, big or small, will help take the pressure off my family and allow me to fully focus on representing Australia and performing at my best on the world stage.

This is an opportunity I’ve worked towards for years, and I’m determined to make the most of it and make everyone who has supported me proud.
