I have had a passion for sport and fitness my whole life. My love for sport started at age 6 when I began little athletics. From this I moved on to dancing and gymnastics and eventually I started training in combat sports. I trained in Karate at a young age and then began training in Kickboxing in my early teens, where I continued to train for a further 6 years. In my early twenties I began Muay Thai training; after 3 short months I had my first amateur fight and immediately I knew this was a sport I could really achieve success. I went on to fight professionally, retiring at 17 professional fights and earning the IKBF Victorian State Bantamweight title and the WKA East Coast Bantamweight title.

Since retiring from fighting I have maintained a healthy lifestyle weight training and playing Football at a local league level. I had a very successful first year, receiving the Ballarat league’s Rookie of the year award and earning a spot on the Team of the year. I also won the Best and Fairest award for the Melton Centrals Football club.

I am a primary school teacher and an incredibly proud mother to a beautiful girl. I am a big believer in that you can achieve anything you set your mind to. Whether it is in sports, education or parenthood once I set my mind to something I continue working hard and honing my skills to reach the top of my field and be the best I possibly can.
