Australian Teams Dual Representative
Athletics and Surf Life Saving

    I am very proud of my achievements in surf life saving and athletics. I started sprinting as a nipper, age 5 and along the way I earned the rare dual titles of Australian Athletics and Surf Life Saving Age Champion, 15yrs, 16yrs, 17yrs, Athletics 100m and 90 Beach Sprint.

  • In 2020 I was inducted into the SLSA Hall of Fame. The 10th sports woman to be honoured and the first woman in the Bate Bay Beach Clubs. Also the first member at Elouera SLSC to be awarded this honour. I have won 5 Open Beach Sprint championships, equalling Veronica Lee's record set back in the 1990's. I have also consistently placed in the open womens flag finals since I was 15, picking up 2 bronze medals as well as minor placings.
  • In 2008, age 16, I was awarded Most Outstanding Female Competitor of the Aussies Surf Carnival, the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships.
  • Winning 13 Aussie Gold medals, 6 Silver and 3 Bronze so far is a great achievement
  • Representing Australia has been a highlight including the 2008 Commonwealth Youth Games in Pune where I dual silver medalled in the 100m and relay and the World Relays in the Bahamas in 2014 & 2015 and getting capped 415 for Surf Lifesaving in 2015.
