Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
My best memory of my athletic career was winning my final A-League gala with my school team for the 5th year in a row. A bittersweet experience as it marked the last A-League in my high school career. But sharing the moment and joy with my friends and teammates with whom I have built close relationships with over the last 5-year journey made it even more special. This has made me so grateful for the supportive friendships and amazing environment that swimming has provided me with.
Goals:
My goal is to have a well-rounded and enjoyable college experience. This includes building new life-long friendships and relationships, achieving a high-quality degree and continuing my passion for sport in college.
Anything else we should know?
I have been competing in both netball and swimming since I was 8 years old. Every year I have been in the A team for netball, and I have been in my school’s first team netball since grade 11. My position in netball is goal attack but over the years I have played center, wing attack and goal shooter. This year I am my school’s swimming captain and since my grade 8 year, Herschel has won the A League swimming gala and PGSGU
