I’m an Australian student-athlete and freshman Mechanical Engineering student at The University of Texas at Austin, where I compete in Track & Field in the 100m, 200m and relays. I’ve competed at the Australian National Championships since I was 13 and have earned 30+ Australian national medals, including multiple junior titles. Most recently, I represented Australia at the 2026 World U20 Championships in Oregon, reaching the 200m semifinals. Outside of track, I’m a huge Formula 1 and motorsport fan and hope to combine my Mechanical Engineering degree with my passion for racing in the future. I also love rodeos, fishing, swimming in the ocean or creeks, and exploring everything Texas has to offer. I’m passionate about challenging myself, trying new things, and connecting with people and brands that share my interests.
