PERSONAL INTERESTS

My main interests include soccer, which I currently play for Division 1 (NPL) club New Lambton FC. I have played from the age of six and have progressed to age 17. I've been playing for some of the top clubs in Newcastle since I was nine years old, and I've been named captain for my dedication and perseverance.


Mountain biking is another activity in which I have invested a significant amount of time, in addition to soccer. This year, I got down to Thredbo with a handful of friends to ride, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Mountain biking has also encouraged me and my friends to design and build mountain biking trails in and around Newcastle. We constructed wooden structures with hand and power tools and as well as dirt features to create a trail for others to explore. We put in hundreds of hours building these trails, as well as countless hours shoveling dirt and transporting heavy materials.


Working with timber has also been a pleasure, with hours spent at home preparing Timber projects for school in order to get high grades. Many hours are spent developing portfolios to accompany timber projects, which takes up significant time and has generated a passion for working with timber and other construction resources, which has encouraged me to continue this professional path.
