I started mountain biking at 12, quickly developing a passion for Cross Country Marathon racing by 14. Despite lacking support and guidance from a coach during my teens, I achieved U19 results in XCM in 2018 and transitioned to road racing where I achieved 6th in the NSW Road Champs as my first Road Race. However, injuries & illness in 2019 led to a diagnosis of Glandular Fever & a severe heart condition, ultimately cutting my racing career short in 2020.

Now on the Heart Transplant Waiting List, I aim to return as a para-athlete in MTB, Gravel & Road racing. My experiences have inspired me to mentor young athletes, ensuring they receive the support & guidance I lacked. My Bachelor's Degree in Health & Physical Education equips me to provide holistic coaching to help athletes reach their cycling ambitions.

My experience in coaching spans four years of coaching junior athletes through providing training plans & 1:1 support, as well as Mountain Bike skills coaching at Oxley College for three years. I have completed research into all aspects of endurance athletes including a research study ‘Resilience in Competitive Endurance Athletes’ in 2023.
