National Team: Senior
- What has been your biggest accomplishment in the sport so far? Oceania Champion 2019, Junior World Championship Team Silver medal 2012
- What keeps you busy outside of paddling? Uni (4th year engineering/science degree at USYD), Coaching slalom for PVC, Working at Horizon Line Canoes
- Greatest influence on your career? Probably my coach, Julien Billaut. I used to follow his career in the late 2010’s and then he showed me how to properly train for canoe slalom and basically all the advanced skills I have now.
- Who inspires you? Peter Kauzer, Cathy Freeman, Ricky Ponting. Other paddling champions like Peter Kauzer and Michal Martikan for their truly impressive mastery of the sport. Both have a certain fluidity of their style that makes paddling look graceful and easy but fast, which is what I chase in each session on the water.
- How would your best friend describe you? No idea. Always busy, often late and trying to do too many things at once.
- Favourite Australian personality? Russell Coight.
- What scares you the most? Heights. I struggle on high stuff a lot.
- Superstitions before a race? Not really. I try to forget my team uniform on race day in case I get a medal and I always shave before the race. It makes my face feel like it beads water. Stupid, I know.
- Favourite place to paddle? Ivrea, Italy
- Favourite song to train to? I like training in the gym to DMX – X gon give it to ya
- Favourite holiday destination? So far: Prague, the Czech Republic.
