I am 16 years old and am a 100 and 200-meter sprinter in athletics. I started athletics at 10 years old on the Gold Coast. I have reached both the national and international level. In April 2024 at the Australian National Championships in Adelaide I placed first in both the u17 100 and 200 metres. I have since competed in the 4x100 relay team for the u20 World Championships in Lima Peru. I have now been invited into the Pathways Transition Program as well as the Australian Opens Relay Squad. I am very honoured to have the opportunity to join Share a Yarn as I feel this program will really benefit who I am as a person and that will be shown on the track. I am excited to meet other Indigenous athletes to share our stories and where we come from and mostly to find a space where I can be who I am. I am hoping to gain more knowledge and awareness of all other mobs around Australia and learn from others which is what I know this program will do for a younger emerging athletes like me.
