I was a Surf Life Saver growing up, and switched to triathlon at the end of 2021 after moving to Canberra to study a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Science at ANU. In early 2023 I was recruited into the National Talent Transfer Program run by AusTriathlon and the Victorian Institute of Sport. This program has assisted my progression towards my goal of representing Australia at the 2028 and 2032 Olympic Games. I currently represent Australia internationally at Continental Cup and World Cup races.

I joined the Aussie Athlete fund to be part of part of a movement that builds a more sustainable future for sport in Australia, helps alleviate the disparity in opportunities for elite athletes based on financial considerations, and to help make my own goals possible. I set up this page to help fund my training, equipment and competition costs.

I will need to self fund much of my race opportunities and training camps. This year I will compete in Continental Cups in Oceania, Asia and the Americas, World Cups in Europe, and complete an altitude training camp in the United States. I hope to be selected for the U23 World Championships in Wollongong, and these trips all play a part of progressing towards this. Beyond 2025, the experience and opportunities to improve my world ranking this year can keep me on my current trajectory towards international representation and success.
