Athletic profile - Female 18yrs 6'2" (189cm) - 2K ERGO 7.24
I am a passionate lover of sport with a strong desire to compete at the highest level. I train with committment and am dedicated to bring out the best in myself and my teammates. My sporting achievements, experiences and leadership roles at junior level, have fuelled a desire to build my sporting career and become a professional athlete.
From the moment I started rowing in 2018 I have embraced every opportunity. I thrive in team environments and my passion and leadership was rewarded in 2021 when appointed College Rowing Captain. I have been fortunate to be part of successful squads across the four years I have been rowing, and my final junior race was the ultimate highlight - winning Gold at the Australian Rowing Championaships in the schoolgirl XIII sprint.
