    šŸ‡¦šŸ‡ŗ Help Me Represent Australia at the 2028 LA Olympics

    I’m chasing a dream that started on the water and now it’s within reach.

    My Story

    I’m an Australian sailor driven by one goal: to stand on the Olympic start line wearing the green and gold.

    In 2023, I won Gold at the Pacific Games.

    In 2022, I was named Australia’s Youth Sailor of the Year.

    And today, I’ve climbed to 54th in the world in the open rankings. But behind those results is years of early mornings, long days on the water, and relentless commitment to improving because at this level, progress is earned inch by inch.

    Why Now Matters

    2026 is a defining year in my Olympic campaign.

    It’s the season where I need to compete consistently against the world’s best, racing across Europe in high-level regattas that directly shape my pathway to LA 2028. This isn’t just another year. It’s where I close the gap.

    The Real Cost of Chasing the Olympics

    While my training is supported through a scholarship, the reality is:

    Competing internationally comes at a significant cost.

    2026 Campaign Budget: ~$70,000

    • šŸŒ International regattas
    • āœˆļø Flights, freight, and logistics
    • šŸ  Accommodation and living costs overseas
    • ⛵ Equipment, maintenance, and upgrades

    Every regatta is an opportunity, but also a financial hurdle.
