A two time rowing world champion and Olympian, I am currently training full time at the Rowing Australia Women’s National Training Centre in pursuit of excellence at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Both elite sport and practicing as a veterinarian have taught me how to function well in diverse teams, be adaptable and achieve success under immense pressure. Committed to improvement I am always looking for ways to push the boundaries to achieve my goals. I bring a composed, calm nature to all that I do, whilst still maintaining a strong competitive drive and having a sense of humour!I hold positions of leadership within the athlete body at Rowing Australia – being both a member of the Athletes Commission and the Athlete Leadership Group. I am extremely passionate about bettering the environment in which elite athletes work. I am approachable and reasonable in listening to and voicing the concerns of the athlete body.I maintain contact with my qualifications and experience as a veterinarian through mentoring new graduates in their first year of clinical practice. I find this a rewarding experience to pass on my learnings in both science and sport including overcoming barriers with composure and confidence, efficiency in time management and understanding and not compromising on personal values. I have also seized opportunities to share my story through the Australian Olympic Committee’s Olympics Unleashed program and the Australian Institute of Sport’s The Good Village Program. It is very inspiring to see a spark lit within a young athlete.I look forward to connecting with people that share my passion for excellence and sport.
