Tali

Hi, my name is Tali. I grew up in Cairns with the good fortune of having the Great Barrier Reef as my playground. I recently graduated from secondary school; I have moved to Brisbane to further develop my skills as a gymnast with Premier Gymnastics.

At this stage, I have chosen to focus on the sport I love, live and breathe, rather than studying or working full-time. I am currently completing a certificate in Zoology (my second love) which is a part-time course and pursuing work in the fitness modelling industry. I have been training and competing in Women’s Artistic Gymnastics (WAG) from the age of 5 as a Level 1 and I have now reached the pinnacle as a level 10 gymnast.

This stream of gymnastics involves the apparatuses of uneven bars, balance beam, floor exercise and vault. I am currently training between 19 to 25 hours a week to prepare for the competition season, which is early in the year. Training is intense and develops muscular strength, flexibility, cardiovascular endurance, agility and the development of new skills and apparatus routines.

Last year, I was the overall Far North Queensland champion, winning gold on all four apparatus. I also represented Queensland at a National event, successfully winning gold on beam and floor, and bronze on the vault. The sport of gymnastics has not only developed me physically but mentally as well. The dedication, resilience and work ethic required to be successful in this sport is incredibly demanding. Training is a year-round commitment with a short ten-day break at the end of the year. Hours do not reduce at the conclusion of the competition season.

As a gymnast, I excel at being coached, following directions, and acting on feedback given to make improvements, so I can be the best I can be. I have learnt to successfully transfer these skills and qualities into all aspects of my life and strive for perfection in everything I do. I believe these skills and qualities will be an asset in the fitness modelling industry. I would love the opportunity to represent your brand. I will bring my bright and bubbly personality, my excellent work ethic, my attention to detail, my powerhouse of a body and my physical skills to make your brand a standout.
