Tennis is my passion. It is the only sport I have been 100% involved and committed to, putting all my time and effort into it. I am a student at a Specialist Sports College that provides High Performance Sport Academy Programs for a number of sports including tennis, as well as a full range of Academic and Educational Study Programs. At Box Hill Senior Secondary College, my weekly program consists of over 10 hours of specialist tennis training and strength & conditioning sessions.
This does not include my private coaching and development squad sessions outside of the College programs. I have been playing tennis since I was four years old.
Tennis is the only sport I love. My whole life revolves around family, friends and tennis and there's no other way I would want it to be.
I am very committed to my tennis and very lucky to have the parents and coaches that I have. My parents have supported me all through my tennis journey and my coach has guided and helped me to improve enormously. If I didn't have the parents that I have I probably wouldn't be able to go to all the tournaments that I go to as the costs end up being very expensive, so I'm very thankful for them.
I have been chosen to represent Waverley & District Tennis Association in different Tennis Victoria Events, such as Wayne Arthurs Cup, Alicia Molik Cup, Frank Sedgman Cup and Pat Cash Cup. I was fortunate to be a part of several winning teams representing WDTA for these respective competitions.
Tennis Australia’s Super 10’s competition is another event I was successfully chosen to participate in. In my first year I was part of the winning team and went on to play for a total of 3 years.
Some of my recent successful tournament results have been:
- 2022 Dingley Tennis Club Women's Girls State Junior Classic - Girls 16U Singles winner;
- 2022 IMG International Academy - Girls 14U Singles winner;
- 2022 Swan Hill Health Fund Open - Girls 16U Doubles runner up & Mixed Doubles winner;
- 2022 Lauriston Junior Tennis Tournament - Girls 16U Singles runner up & Doubles winner;
- 2022 Kooyong LTC Club Championships - Girls Under 16 Singles & Doubles runner up;
- 2021 Frankston Centenary Easter tournament -Girls 14U doubles winner;
- 2021 Victorian Country Championships - Girls 14U doubles winner;
I live and train in Melbourne, I started competitive tennis at the age of eight and from then on I have continued with my tennis journey.
My goal is to travel the world playing tennis, compete in and win as many ITF’s as possible, to graduate from BHSSC and to be successfully chosen for a place in a Division 1 US College, with the ultimate end goal of becoming a professional WTA tennis player.
I'm very excited and proud to have been selected into the Pizzey Cup team to represent Victoria this year. The event will be held in Perth, so I'm hoping to secure as much moral and financial support to help me in what I hope will be my first of many selections to represent my State in similar events, such as the Pizzey Cup.
