I design and lead 13 cycle workouts per week, leading classes ranging from 15 to 30 participants, simultaneously instructing, motivating, and actively participate throughout the entire 45-minute class duration. I foster an inclusive environment through designing classes which account for the varied athletic ability of participants such that grit becomes the determining factor of success instead of objective output. During my time at Virgin Active, I have increased participant retention rate by over 100% over the past 12 months; currently leading the most popular cycle classes at Virgin Active Northern Beaches.

I coached novice oarsmen to an undefeated season and a silver at the AAGPS Head of the River.I enhanced technical proficiency and team cohesion to competitive standards through personalised instruction. In addition, I encouraged young athletes to embrace challenges beyond their comfort zones by fostering a supportive, genuine, and lighthearted crew culture off the water. All crew members achieved continual improvement in ergometer performance among through engagement in individualised, nurturing dialogue regarding their fear of both physical pain and falling short of expectations.
