What you like about your role: I enjoy being able to make a real difference in young people’s lives by supporting their holistic wellbeing, encouraging personal growth, and help them build confidence, especially through sport and physical activity. I’m passionate about creating positive environments where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported — whether that’s on the field, in the gym, or in day-to-day life.
A bit about you: I’m a driven and passionate person with a background in elite athlete development and sports and exercise science. I run my own businesses — Island Sport and Performance & Island Properties (Luxury Airbnb accommodation) — and have worked with a wide range of athletes, from grassroots to professional level, across AFL, NPL, motocross, Supercross, A League and more. I’m currently studying my Doctorate of Sport and Exercise Science, and I majored in High Performance Sport, while also raising a wonderful daughter. I’m deeply committed to helping people thrive and I’m proud to call the North West Coast home.
