On Saturday 12^th April 2025 I competed at the NSW Gymnastic State Trial 1 for Trampoline. I competed in the International Stream for Under 17 in trampoline and National stream Level 6 for double mini trampoline. Unfortunately I didn’t qualify for the State team on trampoline at this event but I came first in double mini trampoline so I will be heading to the Gold Coast in July to compete in the National stream double mini trampoline Level 6 at the 2025 Australian Gymnastics Championship.

On Saturday 3^rd May 2025 I will compete at the NSW Gymnastic State Trial 2 where I am hoping I will qualify for International Stream Under 17 on trampoline. Following this I will compete at the State championships competition at the end of May. Throughout this year I will also be participating in an extra program called the Future team program where I will train alongside other youth athletes that demonstrate high potential in trampolining. We will work with international coaches and be mentored by Australian trampoline athletes. 

My sponsorship will be helping to pay for my training costs and competition entry fees. If I do well at the next few competitions I might be selected to compete internationally later in the year or into next year. My dream is to compete at the 2032 Olympics which will be held in Australia, so I am working very hard to make this happen.

I’ve also been making progress at school. This term at my school cross country I came 5^th in my age group – 15yrs. My friends were so happy to cheer me on. They were telling me to run for my hair and if I did well my hair would grow back. If only that was true! Unfortunately, my hair has started falling out again recently.
