Sport has shaped so much of who I am. For more than 30 years, I have pushed limits, faced challenges, and learned what it truly means to keep showing up. Across multiple sports, I have represented Australia, become a world champion, and built a journey that has included karate, Ironman, boxing, and kettlebell sport.

In kettlebell sport, I have become a multiple world champion, world record holder, and one of Australia’s most accomplished athletes, but for me, the medals have never been the whole story. What matters most is who I have become through the journey.

In June, I will travel to Moldova to represent Australia at the WKSF World Championships. This campaign feels especially meaningful, as it is my final year lifting 16kg as a Master's athlete.

I will compete in the Masters Long Cycle, Biathlon, Snatch, One Arm Long Cycle, One Arm Jerk 30 Minutes, and Elite One Arm Jerk. It is a huge campaign physically, mentally, and financially, and that is why I am asking for support to help me get there.

What makes this journey even more special is being named again as one of four Masters finalists in the Victorian Sport Awards, recognition that reflects not only results, but the resilience, consistency, and heart I bring to the sport. Over the years, I have earned world championship gold medals, international rankings across multiple federations, and the deep respect of the kettlebell sport community, not just for how I lift, but for how I support those around me.

That is exactly what Forged by the Journey means to me. It is not about chasing medals for the sake of them. It is about being shaped by challenge, refined by adversity, and strengthened by every setback, sacrifice, and lesson along the way. It is about courage, freedom, grit, and becoming your own brave.

And then there are the unicorns. They are part of my story too. They represent the spark I carry through the hard moments, the reminder that strength can still hold joy, personality, and a little magic. They are a symbol of resilience with heart. Fierce, fun, and unapologetically me.

When you purchase Forged by the Journey, you are not just buying a product. You are helping me get to Moldova to represent Australia on the world stage in this final year of lifting 16kg as a Masters athlete. More than that, you are backing a story built on resilience, belief, and the idea that who we become along the way is always greater than the medal itself.
