How and Where It All Began : : My dad used to play squash and I would follow him to the courts. That’s where I began with the Oz Squash program, just hitting balloons and learning the basics. My first real match came at the Australian Junior Championships in 2017 against my good friend and long-time competitor, Emmy Lamb — and I fell in love with the game from that moment.

First State Colours : : I represented Victoria for the first time at age 10, playing in the U13s. It was the most exciting time — travelling with the team, taking photos, pulling pranks, and winning matches for the state. The best part was hearing a whole group cheer for me and the high fives that followed.

The COVID Challenge : : I never thought we would play squash again. The whole country was competing, but in Victoria we couldn’t even travel or train. It was tough, and we lost a lot of good players during that time. But I’m proud that within a year we regrouped — reaching the final of the Australian Teams Championships and finally winning it in 2023

National & International Breakthrough : : My first Trans-Tasman in 2021 was cancelled because of COVID, but since then I’ve worked hard to make up for that missed opportunity. Highlights of my journey so far include winning the U17 Oceania Junior title, and winning the NZ Junior Open 2026 and Australian Junior Open 2026. I’ve also had strong performances at two World Junior Cups. So far, I’ve represented Australia at 2 World Junior Cups (Houston 2024, Cairo 2025) and 6 Trans-Tasman Tests.

Why I Still Play : : I’m aiming to finish my junior career strongly in the U19s and break into the top 5 in Australian women’s squash. I’ve already started playing PSA events, but right now my main focus is training hard and competing for major titles in my final junior year. It’s an exciting stage of my journey and also a little daunting, but I’m ready for the challenge and determined to make the most of every opportunity ahead.
