Growing up in the elite sporting world I was always eager to learn and achieve goals. Some of the major inspirations that have influenced my sporting career thus far are coaches, teachers, and older athletes. I envied their passion and ability to help others love sport, health, and fitness. I was never the most academic kid in school, but I am passionate about helping and mentoring the next generation as many others helped me too.

The AIS Education Scholarship allows me to work towards my aspirations beyond sport and find balance with training and work life. I am extremely appreciative to be a recipient of the AIS Education Scholarship and promote the importance of balancing sport and education.

I would really like to express my appreciation of this scholarship. I am extremely grateful so thank you!
