The AIS Education Scholarship is important to me as it enables my sporting and academic careers to align. It releases some of the financial burden that comes with a degree, and showcases the support that the AIS provides to athletes wanting to study, whilst competing at the highest levels.

I believe that this scholarship will help to inspire the next generation coming through, that it is possible to pursue both an academic and sporting career, and that with effective time management skills, appropriate communication, and hard work and dedication, these can complement each other.
