State DevELOPMENT & senior Squad PM Coach & AM Session CoacH

I’ve loved swimming since my first lessons at 6 years-old, but didn’t like competing, so fun fact about me; inspired by the 2016 Rio Olympics, I only started competing when I was 16 under the coaching of Heather, who I now proudly work alongside. I fell into coaching in 2019 and have loved every minute of it. Because of this passion, I’ve since graduated from university with a Bachelors in Exercise and Sport Science with hopes to work with elite athletes all over the world. As a coach I believe we should lead by example, hence our dedication and passion for the sport should be greater than our athlete’s. Whether it be knowledge or experience, our enthusiasm and devotion to listen and learn will translate into our swimmers, in turn fostering success in their lives.

I began my swimming journey with the Armadale Kelmscott Swimming Club at  the age of 10 years.  I have always had a love of the water and  competed at National level in Perth and Tasmania.  

My passion for  swimming has driven me to become a Competitive Strokes  swimming coach with the intention of inspiring young swimmers to pursue  their dreams. 

I love swimming. 

Every job I’ve ever had has always brought me back to the pool. 

I swam with AKSC through my childhood, the early mornings, and daily trainings - I’ve been through it.

My coach taught me the value of hard work and challenging myself to achieve state and national levels. 

“If you practice rubbish, you will race rubbish!” she would say. 

I’ve carried this with me into my adult life. 

Stepping into a coaching role, I hope to inspire and challenge my own swimmers the same way my coach inspired me.
