My name is Stef, and I’m a dedicated karate athlete with over 20 years of experience in martial arts. Karate has been a lifelong passion, and through hard work and commitment I’ve been able to compete at both national and international levels.

My goal is to continue representing Australia on the world stage, testing myself against the best athletes and pushing my limits as I strive for excellence. Competing internationally is an incredible opportunity for growth — not only as an athlete, but also as a person. Each event provides valuable experience, helps me build world ranking points, and keeps me moving forward in pursuit of my long-term goals.

Elite sport comes with significant costs, from training and equipment through to travel, accommodation, and competition fees. Fundraising through the Australian Sports Foundation makes it possible for me to keep chasing these opportunities while balancing the demands of everyday life.

Every contribution, big or small, makes a real difference and helps me focus on what matters most — performing at my best and proudly representing my sport and my country. Thank you for your support and for being part of my journey.
