Mireille has trained and played hard this season, which resulted in remarkable achievements that have earned her selection in the Australian U19 Women's Beach Volleyball Team to represent Australia at the U19 Women's Asian Beach Volleyball Championships in Roi Et, Thailand on 1-5 May 2024. In addition, Mireille also trained in Brisbane from the 25 April for 3 days, which has also came with additional travel and accomodation costs that exceed the original budget of $3,700. The target amount has been adjusted to reflect this, and is now $5,400.
