The AIS Education Scholarship is important to me because it allowed me to be able to pay my rowing membership fees without worrying about taking more shifts at work or compromising my study. Education is important to me because no matter how successful you are at your chosen sport, there is always a life afterwards in which it is crucial to be passionate about what you do.

As I have now successfully completed my degree, I would like to thank the AIS for their financial support, and for allowing me to achieve my goals to the best of my ability.
