A bit about myself …

Growing up I played basketball and then in 2015 a friend of mine told me to try footy out so I came out to Ingle Farm where she played and fell in love instantly. From 2015 to 2018 I played mainly in the midfield but after swapping clubs to Salisbury in 2019 I began to play some forward and wing. Throughout my years of footy I have been involved in a number of state teams and was successful enough to play in the NAB AFLW National Championships in the Central Allies Team which was a huge achievement for me. Another memorable moment within my footy journey was definitely to be asked to come out and be a part of the first ever Central Districts Women’s Squad and to also be lucky enough to be selected in the team for our first ever round 1. For the last 5 years I have also played volleyball.
