Whilst kayaking is an extremely important component of my life, my education is equally as vital; for my future career, as well as offering a good balance between sport and studies. The AIS Education Scholarship has given me the opportunity to continue my pursuit for success, both academically and in sport, where I hope to inspire younger athletes to pursue a life and a career outside of their sport. On the flip side, I hope to prove to people- particularly young women- who give up their sport to pursue their studies, that it is possible to be focused on both and achieve highly.

This scholarship has allowed me to find balance between canoe sprint and my degree, which I hope will provide a foundation to eventually become a paediatric doctor.
