I started my surf lifesaving career at Warriewood SLSC on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. There I participated in nippers and competed sparsely but always idolized the Nutri-Grain Ironmen and Women who are watched race on television. Despite a lack of talent for the sport, I persisted, ultimately making the move to Newport SLSC’s Kinghorn Surf Racing Academy for the 2017/18 season in U14s. That year I made my first Branch final. The next year my team and I won two gold medals at Aussies in the U15 board relay and surf teams. I can only credit Newport Surf Club to this rapid growth in my performance.

At the 2020 NSW State, I claimed my first individual state title in the U17 Female Single Ski. But soon after Aussies was canceled due to COVID-19. The following season I struggled to get the results I wanted and so pledged to persevere. However, after training for months, in October of 2021 I was placed in a boot for a navicular stress fracture to my right foot. In February of 2022 I was told I needed surgery for the same injury on the other foot. Naturally, this ended my season. And so, I was more determined than ever to return to peak fitness for the 2022/23 season. Despite the added pressures of completing my HSC year, I was able to hit a stride this season and get the results I had been looking for, notably finishing 4th in the U19 Female Ironwoman at Aussies 2023.

Now that I’ve started a degree in Medical Science at Macquarie University, I’m keen to put this added time to good use and put the hard yards in this off season.
