Born in Melbourne, Australia, I spent most of my life on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula with my Family.

I began my sporting life as a competitive gymnast at an early age before crossing over to Track and Field in high school. Specialising in Sprinting over distances of 100, 200 and 400 metres I also held Victorian records in Triple Jump. My other two sporting Interests in high school were Competition Aerobics and Lifesaving, which both allowed me to travel Australia to compete at a national level. In my final year at The Peninsula School I was elected by my peers as the schools first female Sports Prefect.

After High School I attended Monash University studying Nursing before transferring to Bio-medical Science where I specialised in Exercise Physiology. During this time I worked in modelling and promotions, personal training clients in my spare time. I travelled Australia again as a grid girl for the V8 supercars and attended photo shoots for magazines such as FHM and RALPH in exotic locations throughout Asia.

        

In 2005 I decided to settle in Darwin, Australia to start a family with my husband. We now have 2 beautiful children and I am happy juggling family, work, life, training and competing. When I was crowned World Champion in 2009 I decided to focus on a new goal which was to inspire other women and Mothers to reach for their dreams.

Promoting a Healthy lifestyle is now my passion, whether someone is young or old, living a healthy lifestyle will benefit not only themselves but those around them and of course the healthier we are as individuals the healthier we are as a community.

Personal Trainer:

I work as a personal trainer helping people achieve their goals, specialising in goal setting and fitness for mothers and bodysculpting competitors, I believe in fitness as a lifestyle. You have one body and I believe you should treat it accordingly, looking after it the best you can ensures a healthier, happier life for both yourself and those around you.

GNC LiveWell Ambassador.

2010 was a huge year for me and I am thrilled to now be an Ambassador for a company which I believe is the best nutrition company in the World. GNC LiveWell Australia have provided me with a fantastic opportunity to promote the company and its products. GNC LiveWell not only sells great nutritional products but also actively promotes living an active healthy lifestyle, not just for the Elite sportsperson, but for anyone who is interested in living well.

Febfast Ambassador:

During 2011 I have been promoting and encouraging people to give up alcohol for the month of February, not for fun, but for charity. Febfast is a nationwide health and charity event that raises money for programs across Australia that help to reduce the impact of drug and alcohol related issues on young people. As well as the benefits to the community individuals can expect a reduction in weight, increased performance and stamina and a healthier liver.

Dream, Believe, Create, Suceed.

I believe life is what you make it... you can sit back and simply exist or you can take control of your own destiny and really live. It is up to you. The mind is a very powerful thing, make sure you use it!! I like to use motivational quotes and affirmations, both in my athletic career and my everyday life.

My personal favourite quote and one that I base my life on is:" You dream, You Believe, You Create, You Succeed." If you can dream something and you can believe it is possible, it is up to you to do the work that will make it happen. Some may wait for luck but I like to go out and find it.

It is all about seizing opportunities and not letting life slip you by. There is no bigger waste in life than wondering what you could have been.

Fitness and Mothers:

As a mother of two young children I understand the importance of regaining one’s self. Just because a woman has become a mother does not mean she should not feel strong and sexy. Finding the time for health and fitness is important for everyone, especially mothers as I believe a healthy, happy mother is a good mother, not to mention a great role model for their child.

Whether you want to walk out on the competition stage or just feel comfortable in your own clothes, I urge you to never give up on your goals. If you can get someone to mind the children whilst you find a physical activity you enjoy that is fantastic. If you cannot find a babysitter don’t let that stop you, whether you have to dance to the Wiggles after Breakfast with the children, lunge at the playground between swinging on the monkey bars. Making sure you keep moving will make sure you keep feeling great.

 

 

The Future.


My main aim is now Health and Fitness promotion for Women and Mothers.

I am yet to decide when I will compete again, but I am sure it will not be too far away....
