I am a 24-year-old Registered Nurse/Midwife, WBFF Bikini Pro and fitness enthusiast! Outside of the gym, I love traveling, cooking, reading, coffee and flying ultralight aircraft, which is a side hobby I have been doing since I was 16!
I have always been passionate about women’s health & fitness which naturally lead me to pursue my own fitness journey. Growing up, I maintained my fitness by playing netball and tennis, but after moving out of home to go to University, I decided to train for a half marathon. After completing two of them I wanted to set a new fitness goal, which lead me to the world of competing in 2016 where I coached myself and won 1st place at my first show.
As cliché as it sounds, I fell in love with the entire physical and mental transformation I go through preparing for a competition, as the whole process means far more to me than just presenting an aesthetically pleasing figure on stage. Back then, I was very naive with my nutrition & training methods, but through those experiences I learnt a lot about myself which has shaped the athlete I am today.
I went on to compete in several other shows with different federations, but I never quite found my place. My dream has always been to compete with the WBFF, however, after seeing the high calibre of athletes in the federation, I never thought I would be good enough to stand on stage alongside them. After having a year away from competing due to postgraduate studies, I built up the confidence to compete in my first WBFF show on the Gold Coast in May 2018. I surprised myself by placing second, and went on to earn my WBFF Bikini Pro card at my next show in Dallas two months later. I then had my Pro debut at the World Championships in Las Vegas where I placed 9th in a line-up of 60+ Bikini Pros. I am now working towards my next goal which is to win a crown at a PRO show!
I love the life that I have built as a health professional and Bikini Competitor, where I can use my passion and enthusiasm to promote women’s health, fitness and wellbeing. I hope to use both identities, along with my social media platforms, to educate other women on how they too can live a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.
