Aside from being one of Australia’s top skaters, Turner is well respected in the Australian skateboarding community for her commitment to making sure everyone feels included and introducing the sport to others.

Over the past year, she’s taken this initiative one step further by travelling to various parts of Australia to teach young people to skateboard as part of her work with an organisation called BIG hART/Totem Collective.

One of those trips saw her teach skateboarding to Indigenous communities in Karijini, Western Australia, providing skateboards and shoes to the youth. Impressively, she managed this while finishing Year 12 and travelling overseas to compete in the Olympic qualifiers, where she narrowly missed qualification for the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Turner took it upon herself to learn new languages to assist with communicating with other cultures and even skipped her high school graduation to prioritise her community work.

Her passion for skateboarding is evident not only in her own progress but in the way she is opening doors for the development of the sport in Australia by inspiring youth to get involved.
