ABOUT ME
I am 17 years old, and since the age of 7 I’ve been sailing, honing my skills in various vessels like Pacers, Flying 11 and 29ers. In early 2022 I ventured to the iQFOiL - an exhilarating sport blending traditional windsurfing and ultra modern hydrofoiling. My goal is to compete against the world's best in international regattas and ultimately to represent Australia at the Olympics.
FUNDING
I bring exceptional dedication and skill to this emerging sport. With aspirations to represent Australia on the global stage, I've demonstrated the potential to become a future champion. However the undeniable truth is that funding is a critical factor for success. I am reaching out to you for your financial help and support towards equipment and travel costs, and welcome you to be part of this dream.
