A little about me…

Sailing is my whole life. I fell in love with the water when I started sailing at the age of 8 and haven't looked back since! I started out my sailing career in the Sabot class and Flying 11 class, surrounded by friends and family who helped create the foundation of my love for the sport.

These classes took me all along the east coast of Australia, from Townsville in Queensland, all the way down to Hobart in Tasmania. After a few years sailing in domestic competition i knew i was ready for the big leagues! With the generosity and support of my family i was lucky enough to begin my competition on an international stage.

I first competed in Marseille in the south of France in the Nacra 15 class. My sailing partner, Brin and I had never sailed with so many boats and seeing all the different country flags on the sails was surreal. As a team we well exceeded our own expectations and we knew we couldn't stop there!

Brin and I continued sailing in the Nacra 15 for 3 years earning a national championship title which encouraged us to pursue sailing on an Olympic stage!

We have now been sailing together for over 7 years and have achieved things we never thought possible. We were lucky enough to represent Australia at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games as the second youngest team in the Nacra 17! After a tough week we came away with 13th place.

Brin and I have now set our sights on Olympic Gold in LA 2028! We've both just returned from Paris and already we are in training for LA as it will take a four-year disciplined programme to achieve our goal of bringing home a medal for Australia.
