Wunya, I am Rosie McMahon, born, raised and connected to Kabi Kabi country on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, with descendants from the Yiman.I have a passion for sport and have experienced many successes in both football and cricket (Junior Matildas and Qld cricket). I am so grateful for these opportunities. I love working as part of a team and contributing to a team’s success.

As a creative midfielder in football and top order bat and right arm off spin bowler in cricket, I am always striving to improve my game.

I began playing football at age 5 and cricket at age 8 at my school clubs and have been part of the Queensland Academy of Sport since 2020. A favourite highlight of my football life is when I represent the Goannas Indigenous Team where my ‘Goannas family’ embrace me in their warm supportive environment.

My school, Matthew Flinders Anglican College, provides great support with juggling sporting commitments and study through the FEAP (Flinders Elite Athlete Program).

I am proud to be part of the AIS Share the Yarn program and look forward to connecting with other indigenous athletes and learning more about our culture.
