Hobbies

Outside of my professional career, I am committed to continuous personal growth and development, as well as contributing to the development of others. I actively engage in umpiring AFL football, which has strengthened my leadership, decision-making, and communication skills under pressure.

In addition to my sporting activities, I am committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle through gym activities, which help me stay physically and mentally fit. This balance supports my overall well-being and enhances my ability to perform at a high level in both personal and professional settings.

I also dedicate time to coaching and mentoring junior umpires, providing guidance, feedback, and fostering a supportive environment for their growth. This experience has allowed me to refine my mentoring skills, while also reinforcing my passion for helping others develop both personally and professionally.

Spending quality time with my daughter is a priority, which helps me maintain a healthy work-life balance and provides me with the grounding to approach my career with a clear, focused mindset.

These activities contribute to my personal and professional development by enhancing my leadership, communication, and mentoring abilities, which are essential for fostering a positive and effective work environment.
