I have been actively playing football since I was 7 years old and enjoy the comradery and team work, communications skills which I am able to utilise with my work as a manager at Nandos Restaurant. I commenced AFL Football at Whitfords Junior Football Club and tasted success in Year 7 when we won the Grand Final. I am currently playing Colts at Quinns Football club after 5 years at Wanneroo Senior and Junior Football Club.
I was also played Basketball in my junior years at Padbury Pumas and thoroughly enjoying the game until I ceased it in my later years.
I enjoy outdoor activities and drawn to water activities such as Surfing, Surf Lifesaving and gym workouts. These activities tail into my work experiences with Mater Dei with outdoor education. Surf Lifesaving has allowed me to further my understanding of the ocean and to respect it. Especially when saving lives in the surf and the injuries sustained. Surf Lifesaving allows to to commit to volunteering my time to the community. I also enjoy surf ski paddling and have represented Scarborough in the State Teams Challenges as a 15 year old through to 17 years old.
