How do you stay motivated and push yourself in training?
I like to really train hard, being ‘comfortable in the uncomfortable’ helps me to push my limits in all my training sessions.
Many athletes have pre-game rituals that help them get into the zone. What are some of your personal pre-game rituals or routines that you believe help you get in the zone before hitting the beach or pool?
I need to listen to pump up music before I race. I also love to chat to my friends and competitors before I race as it helps ease my nerves.
Reflecting on your career so far, what would you consider as the most memorable or defining moment?
My most notable achievement so far in my career was winning my first Australian title in the U14 surf swim at the Aussie Champs in Perth 2023.
Are there any specific achievements or milestones that you are particularly proud of and that you feel have significantly impacted your journey as an athlete?
A few significant achievements and milestones that I am proud of include being the youngest female to win the 2024 Channel 7 Shark Island swim, receiving 3rd place at the National Open Water Championships in the 5km & being a part of the NSW interstate team in 2023 & 2024.
Beyond your athletic pursuits, do you have any hobbies or passions that might surprise people?
I love skateboarding and cooking!
How do you balance your intense training and competition schedule with personal interests outside of your sport?
It’s hard to find balance, being an athlete, you need to be selfish sometimes to make sure your body is getting enough rest. I make sure that I stay connected with my friends and always prioritise a good holiday somewhere in my year around my training and competition schedule.
What are your top 3 ENGINE products (either for racing or training)?
1. Santorini
2. Wingskin Bullet
3. Deck Parka - Stadium
