Track Running & Gym

I started little athletics when I was in Primary School, competed in cross country and have been competing with the UWA Senior Athletics Club for a few years now. While at University I travelled to Uni Games in the Gold Coast in 2023. My focus is the 400m & 800m and I have also competed in Long Jump at WA States. Perth Distance Project (PDP) Running Squad is who I train with every Monday and Thursday night and on Friday nights I compete at the track.

I have also always been passionate about gym and once graduating high school I competed in multiple bikini bodybuilding competitions. Across a few years I competed in ICN, YNF and WBFF placing in some of the competitions. I continue to lift weights with more focus on strength and conditioning for my running now. With my love for fitness I decided to become a fitness coach and now have my cert III in fitness and am currently completing my Cert IV to become a PT.
