I started boxing at 17 as a way to navigate life in the foster care system, training at a gym for at-risk youth in Melbourne’s western suburbs. Since then my journey has been defined by key achievements, including receiving the 2020 Sport Australia Hall of Fame Scholarship, becoming a three-time Australian Champion and being the first woman to win the Arthur Tunstall Trophy. I secured my place to compete at the 2024 Paris Olympics making history as the first Aboriginal woman to do so. This marks my third year in the Share a Yarn Program. Mainstream sport can be challenging, but having the unwavering support of mob keeps me grounded and focused on my goals. I'm excited to be supported by the Aboriginal leaders in this program. It’s also a privilege to witness the growth of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander athletes including those on the Olympic and Paralympic journey.
