My sport is a huge part of my life. When I train or compete, I am 100 percent focused on riding. I recognise this, alone, is not sustainable either in the short-term or as a lifestyle. Design, in all its forms but mostly graphic design, is also a huge part of my life that I get equal fulfillment from.

I currently study design at Australian National University in preparation for a career after cycling. The AIS Education Scholarship will substantially reduce my debt at the end of this study making it easier to eventually move from being an athlete into a sustainable career.
