Swimming, Australian College of Physical Education, Health Science

I am so grateful to receive this scholarship. I am currently studying a degree of Health Science whilst preparing to hopefully qualify for the Paris 2024 Paralympics. Education has always been important to me, and I knew from a young age that I wanted to go on to study at university, but this dream would not have been achievable without the support of others.

I believe that studying Health Science has helped to improve me both as an athlete, and as a person, and I hope to encourage more people, especially disabled athletes, to pursue a tertiary education.
