Hi everyone,

I’ve recently been selected to represent Australia at the 2025 FISU World University Games in Duisburg, Germany.

This will be my first time racing internationally, and I’m excited (and a little nervous!) to line up against some of the best student-athletes in the world.  Balancing full-time study with high-level training is already a challenge, and while I do work to support myself, the hours involved in rowing and uni make it tough to fit in long shifts in an already long day.

The catch? It’s a self-funded trip. I’m currently raising funds to help cover travel, accommodation, and the $4,500 seat fee, which excludes the costs of flights over to Germany. All donations go through the Australian Sports Foundation, which means they’re tax-deductible.

If you’re in a position to chip in, I’d be incredibly grateful. Every little bit helps me get one step closer to the start line in Germany.

Thank you for reading and for being part of this with me.
