Having personally experienced the challenges of mental health, I have been studying Psychology at ANU in hopes that one day I will be able to influence and support adolescents/young adults the same way that practitioners in my life have influenced me.

Although balancing study and a full-time training load hasn't been easy, being an athlete is not a forever job and I believe it is important for athletes to strive in other areas and develop a sense of self away from sport.

I am grateful to have received this scholarship as motivation and support to continue working towards my academic and sporting goals.
