Biographie
I have been competing in Shot Put for the last 3 years. As a member of the Athletics Australia national team that traveled to London for the 2017 World Para Athletics Championships, my greatest moment was walking out into the most amazing Queens Elizabeth Stadium in the Green & Gold
I started Shot Put when I was 36 years old because I needed something to focus on after I suffered a life changing injury on the gridiron field. Along the way, I won a number of State Championships, won Gold at the Oceania Melanesian Championships in Fiji as the co-captain and took out the silver at the National Championships in April of 2017. All this allowed me to arrive where I am today. My main goal now is to compete at the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games
