Hi, my name is Emma Pittman, and I’m incredibly honoured to have been selected to represent Australia at the 2026 FISU World UniGames in London, Canada from 13–15 August 2026 as part of the Australian Universities rowing team. I am currently completing my Bachelor of Philosophy, Politics and Economics to later pursue my assured pathway into the Juris Doctor Program at the University of Western Australia.

This will be my first Australian representative rowing team, making the opportunity even more special!!

Sport has always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve previously had the privilege of representing Australia at the Junior World Championships in water polo.

Since beginning my rowing journey at Guildford Grammar School in 2021, I’ve completely fallen in love with the sport — the challenge, discipline, teamwork, and community have pushed me to grow both on and off the water.

Competing at the World UniGames is a dream opportunity, but like many amateur athletes, the entire trip is self-funded. Costs including flights, accommodation, uniforms, equipment transport, and competition expenses add up quickly, so I’m reaching out for support 💖

Any contribution would mean so much to help me represent Australia on the world stage!!!
