I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Primary Education at Deakin University (Waurn Ponds). What motivates me most isn’t just curriculum or assessment, it’s the relationships. It’s creating a classroom where kids feel safe, capable, and proud of themselves.

Juggling training, competitions, and studying Primary Education isn’t always easy, but it’s helping me figure out how to manage my time, push through challenges, and stay committed to my goals. The core values I live by in sport (perseverance, commitment, and integrity) are the same ones I want to bring into the classroom, so I can be a teacher who makes a real difference. Receiving this scholarship would take a huge weight off my shoulders. It would let me focus fully on being the best athlete, student, and future teacher I can be.
