Hobbies and Interests
I am passionate about sport, having played football and netball at both junior and senior levels, with a strong interest in athlete health, performance, and wellness that aligns with my studies at Deakin University. For the past two years, I have volunteered as a netball coach, helping develop players’ skills and promoting teamwork. I have also supported major events such as the IRONMAN 70.3 Geelong in 2024, assisting participants at hydration stations, and volunteered at swimming competitions where I contributed to race timing and marshalling swimmers to their events.
