Ever since I was a baby, I have had a love for water. This lead to me gaining a love for competitive swimming. Growing up in Scone and Bangalow, my swimming career began at local competitions and state level meets. Thanks to the support of my Mum, we were able to move to Brisbane for me to pursue my dreams of representing Australia in swimming. Since then, I have won multiple state and national medals and am making steady progress towards my goal. Of course, I have had my challenges. I deal with anxiety, which unfortunately translated to my competitions, and I had to completely change my main events at the age of 18. However, with support I have been able to conquer these challenges and continue my growth. I am raising funds to assist in easing financial burdens of the costs for gear, training, travel and competition entries. Raising funds would allow me to make better use of physios and psychologists to improve my training strength and mindset and massages to aid in recovery so that I can perform at my best. It will also assist me in granting me opportunities to race on the world stage to gain experience at events such as the World University Championships and other events where individual funding is required.
