Summary

I have always worked hard, starting paid work at 14 and 9 months. I used my time management and organisational skills exceptionally well to ensure I could work and play sport whilst I completed my VCE to a standard I was happy with. I have always had a passion for overall health and fitness, this drive resulted in me playing at a high level of football, Coates Talent league, for the Bendigo Pioneers. I also played netball, completed in swimming events (claiming age group champion every year since grade 1 in school) and play social tennis. Through my sport and schooling, I had the honour of representing my school as school captain and vice sports house captain in 2023. I have also been the vice captain of the Woorinen Youth Girls for the past two seasons which has taught me leadership, problem solving skills and resilience. I am an extrovert, and I am passionate about spending time outdoors, spending time on the farm, playing sport with my friends, and taking on new challenges head first.
