I am a proud Dunghutti woman. I feel privileged to be a part of the Share a Yarn program and grateful for the opportunity it allows me to inspire others to chase their dreams. I love engaging with people and learning their stories and I can’t wait to be part of the program.

I am a track 400-meter Hurdle athlete. I have represented Australia at the World U/20 Championships in 2022 where I made the semi-final for the 400H and our 4x400 relay placed 6th in the final. I've also represented Australia at the Oceania Championships and Pacific Games, medalling at both. I also competed in the 2021 and 2022 U/20 National Championships for the 400m Hurdles. I started Athletics at my local Little A’s club and have been a  LANSW State Finalist and medallist in 400m/200H/300H. I currently hold the Little Athletics 300mHurdle Australian record and NSW record.

A few years ago my mother was diagnosed with Leukemia and needed a Bone Marrow transplant. As a result we went on a journey that led my family to recently finding out about our Indigenous heritage. Consequently we have been trying to fill the gap and learn as much as we can about our families heritage and culture.
