Hobbies

During the summer and winter seasons i play for the Loxton Basketball Association and the Wunkar Football Club respectively. I have been playing Aussie Rules football since I was 5 and picked up on basketball when I was 12. I also enjoy participating in water sports in the Murray River whenever we have the opportunity to put the speedboat in the water.


I also volunteer at the Wunkar Football Club and St Marks college during certain fundraising and community service events. Volunteering at the Wunkar Football Club included working at food stalls and behind the bar as well as participating in working bees to improve the club facilities. Meanwhile some of the volunteering that I participated in at the St Marks college included volunteering at the Magdalene community centre as well as fundraising for Ping-pong-a-thon, Black Dog institute and other charities.
