Completing my first NRS season this year, I'm thrilled to be jumping into Pro Velo Series with WCDI in 2025! It's been challenging balancing my corporate role with an ambitious training schedule, but I'm excited for the journey ahead. Across the race calendar, I'm looking forward to the one day classics as well as a summer European block to get my first taste of international racing!

Q&A

Who or what inspired you to take up cycling?

During the pandemic I was running socially with some colleagues that cycled. They convinced me to purchase my first road bike and haven't looked back.

What was your first race and where did you finish?

March 2023 I entered my first Auscyling race, the Queensland Criterium Series which was three crit's over one weekend. I won all three races and was pretty quickly moved up to B grade!

Studying, working or full time cyclist?

I work full time within the Supply Chain team at one of the big mining companies. My role is about making sure we have all the necessary stock and materials for our mine site operations (ie maintenance spare parts like conveyor belts, motors and even milk and coffee)

Cycling dream?

To be able to live and race in Europe (without having to work a 9-5!)
