Hi my name is Mariah Williams and I am a proud Wiradjuri woman and a current member of the Australia Women’s Hockey team. I was born and bred in Parkes NSW and lived there until I was 14years old. My love for hockey started there, but once I hit year 9 of my schooling, my family decided to move to Newcastle to further pursue my hockey career. I attended and finished my schooling at Hunter Sports High School where I participated in the Specialized Hockey program. My hockey career started to take off when I debuted for the Hockeyroos at the age of 17 and am still in the program currently at 27 years old. I am currently doing my Cert 4 in Youth Work as well as working for Waalitj Foundation as a Deadly Sista Girlz Mentor and am an Ambassador for Whatability.

Some of my achievements throughout my career are: - 2013 Australian Youth Olympics Winners - 2013 Hockeyroo Debut - 2013 Deadlys "Rising Star" award winner - 2015 Australian National Senior Squad - 2016 Rio Olympics - 2016 Junior World Cup Bronze Medal & Captain - 2019 Hockeyroo Joint Highest Goal Scorer - 2021 Tokyo Olympics - 2022 World Cup Bronze Medal - 2022 Commonwealth Games Silver Medal
