Rowing, The University of South Australia, Bachelor of Construction Management

I commenced a Bachelor of Construction Management at the start of 2021, after completing a 4-year apprenticeship in HVAC plumbing. I was inspired to undertake University study in a similar industry as my apprenticeship to further my skills and future employment opportunities.

Balancing sport and study can be challenging at times, however, I’ve found university has provided me with a great balance away from rowing and I’ve been able to apply the new skills I’ve learnt studying to improve my rowing performances.

The AIS Education Scholarship will help relieve the challenges and financial stresses that are encountered when pursuing elite sport and study.
