Balancing a dual career in elite sport and in the workplace, while also studying at Deakin is incredibly challenging. It increases the stress on me mentally and financially to achieve my goals. Scholarship funding from the AIS would be of immense assistance in reducing that stress and enhance my ability to achieve results in academia and sport. I will be able to achieve my career goal sooner with the AIS’s support than I would otherwise.

Studying for my career makes me excited for what I can achieve and where I can go in the future. Which contributes to my wellbeing which is the cornerstone of the Win Well commitment.
