I am a proud Australian Olympic Taekwondo athlete in the sparring feather weight -57kg division. I am part of Combat Institute of Australia, Australia Taekwondo, and a member of the Athletes Committee for Combat Australia 2024.
My time out of training consist of community engagements in schools local and regional Victoria. I have spoken to many sports awards’ nights, and I always make myself available for speaking opportunities in leadership, growth mindset and wellbeing.
I enjoy teaching Taekwondo to junior and senior sparring classes at Notorious Martial Arts.
During my time of studying at RMIT University, I was a member of RMIT Elite Athletes Program (REAP). I was also the 2022 RMIT Elite Athlete Scholarship recipient and awarded RMIT Female Athlete of the year 2022.
My most recent achievements from 2023 are Gold at Australia Presidents Cup, Silver at Australia Open, Silver at Kimunyong Cup (South Korea), Bronze at Korea Open, 16th Place at Paris Grand Prix (invite only to top 32 rank per division), 9th Place at China Grand Prix, Gold at the Australian National Championships, Gold at the Pacific Games in the Solomon Islands and, 9th Place at Manchester Grand Prix Event (invite only to top 16 rank per division).
My day-to-day training consists of 5 days a week, morning and evenings and recovery sessions on a regular basis.
I currently hold Olympic rank 16 and World rank 11.
My training is currently focused on preparing for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. To assist in my preparation, the Olympic team has targeted competitions to better our ranking position and gain more fighting experience such as the Canada Open and US Open.
I won the Paris 2024 Olympic qualification event and have qualified my position and category female -57kg division to represent Australia at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The Olympic team has just returned from a 3 week Europe training camp in Spain, France and Italy. We are now in our last phase of training where we have Korean athletes to be our training partners and assist is fine tuning our sparring.
As noted, I am totally dedicated to representing Australia, however Taekwondo is a difficult sport to support financially due to all the expenses, training commitment and travel.
Any funding to assist me will be humbly appreciated.
