After winning the 2024 event again in January in Brisbane I am now a 7-time national champion in ISSF Women's Skeet in Australia, Junior World Cup Gold medalist & past Junior World Record holder.

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 will incur during the selection series to make my second Australian Olympic team for Paris in 2024. To succeed I need to be able 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.

Calculating a budget for the next 8 months through to Paris, looking at leave without pay, travel for domestic selections, training costs and other expenses I need to raise about $30,000 so that I can afford to maximise my training and travel opportunities without financial stress.

This 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.

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.
