Downhill mountain bike
I found my happy place in riding my bike. I come from a moto cross background and in 2014 transitioned into racing downhill mountain bikes. Now I couldn't imagine my life without bikes.
In 2016 I became Junior Female World Cup Series Champion, from earning enough points throughout the world cup series races. I was Australian Junior National Champion and also won the overall in the 2016 National series.
2017 was my first year of Elite competition where I achieved a silver medal at the 2017 Australian National Championships after coming back from a few minor setbacks and injury, where I was not able to compete in the full national series or world cup series.
I have now made a full recovery and have been selected to represent as part of the Australian Team to race in the 2017 World Championships, Cairns later in September

Downhill Mountain bike
I have been riding bikes since I was 4 years old. I has evolved into my lifestyle. I started racing motocross from the age of 6, and then along the way varied to racing BMX, cross country and eventually found my love for downhill.
In 2017 After winning every Australian national round and becoming Australian National Champion, for the under 17's class , I went on to Crankworx Whistler were I as crowned ‘Prince of Crankworx’, winning the Canadian open DH with a commanding 7 second lead and a time that would have won the Junior men category and placed 15th in Elite men. Also winning the Dual Slalom and placing 2nd in the the Air DH and the Garbanzo DH.
In 2018, I will be stepping up to the jnr men category where I have my sight set on the World Cup Series and World Championships

Athletics - Race Walking
I started race walking back in 2013 as I was selected to compete at the 2013 Australian Little Athletics Championships and at that stage, I had not had any walking training only running. I competed in the 1500m race walk and placed 7th overall. After the championships, I decided to focus on the Race walking which gave me a better training environment and people closer to my age to train with.
December of 2014, I competed at the Australian All Schools Championships - 7th
The Australian Junior Athletics championships - 4th
Australian Athletics Championships - 1st in the 3km and 5th in the 5km
2016 was a bad year for me, coming 7th in the 5km at Australian Juniors due to lack of preparation and then came 4th at the Australian All Schools for the 5km again due to lack of preparation.
In early 2017, I was selected to partake in a Race walking camp held at the AIS which consisted of Olympic athletes right through to junior athletes like myself, this gave me a lot of confidence.
The Australian Junior Championships 2017 - I placed 1st in the 5km event which led me to qualify for the Oceania Athletics Championships held in Fiji. This was the first time I was able to represent Australia for my chosen sport and I was very nervous in the lead up to the flights and also the race. I managed to win that race and take the title of Oceania Champion in the 5km walk
