I am a 7-time national champion in ISSF Women's Skeet in Australia, Junior World Cup Gold medalist & past Junior World Record holder. In May 2024 with my mixed teams partner Josh Bell we won the Bronze Medal at the ISSF World Cup in Baku, Azerbaijan. The ISSF World Cup concluded the Australian selection series for Paris 2024 and I won the series and placed 8th in the Women's World Cup. The Paris team won't be named by the AOC until late June but I've booked my ticket!

Next step for me is a training camp and the ISSF World Cup in Lonato, Italy in June.

At 16 I became the youngest person in history to represent Australia in Shooting sports at the Rio Olympics and I was the youngest shooting athlete in the world to compete at Rio. That happened with a lot of family support, support from local businesses and community fundraising in East Gippsland. It takes a village to get to an Olympics!

I can't do this on my own. I'm now asking for help with expenses I have incurred during the selection series to make my second Australian Olympic team for Paris in 2024. To succeed, in 2024 I have had to reduce my work hours to train, travel to interstate selection events, and to take time off without pay to get to international selection events.

By the end of August I'll have racked up over 3 months in unpaid leave and reduced hours for the year . To cover that reduction in income, my expenses for domestic selections earlier in the year & training costs I need to raise about $30,000 so that I can afford to maximise my training and travel opportunities without financial stress. This is needed on top of much more than that in family and sponsors contributions for which I'm incredibly grateful.

Your financial support which is tax deductible to donors thanks to the ASF, will be vitally important. Without it my commitment to training and travel will be extremely difficult. If you have read this far I hope you join my team and can feel a little of how proud I feel when I step out onto layouts to represent Australia at events this year.

Any support will be very much appreciated, and you can feel what it felt in 2016 for supporters knowing that they helped put a young Aussie on the team for the Rio Olympics.
