On June 4, I competed at the Taekwondo National selections. I won a gold medal to earn the opportunity to represent Australia at the World Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria in August. This will be my second World Championships and has been an accumulation of years of hard work, including training with the top NSW athletes as part of the Combat Australia Performance Pathway Program and as a scholarship athlete at the NSW Institute of Sport. As a three time National Champion, I recognise this key opportunity will help me develop my career as an Australian representative athlete by competing against the best international competitors. To prepare for this event, I will be competing as part of an Australian representative team at the Korean Open in July. Unfortunately as a young student and athlete, there is limited funding or sponsorship to support me. I could really use your support and would be grateful for any help. Thank you.
