Favourite Break: Snapper on a pumping day, otherwise Duranbah beach is pretty much my backyard.

Best Results:
-1st U19's All stars Australian Champion.

-Numerous years making the Queensland team

Career Goals: Meeting Gavin Pratt changed my whole mind set of what I need to do with my goals to make it as a professional surfer. You can spend so many hours a day in the water and get better each and every day, but after putting yourself in the gym, training hard and having other goals to conquer, really changes my surfing. I feel 10X fitter and stronger and this has certainly shown in my surfing performance!

Current Training: I'm working with Gav in 2015 to get stronger, more mobile and to improve my fitness. These practices will improve my surfing so that in 2016, I am at my best and ready to start travelling to make that next step in my surfing career. As easy as it is to make myself ready, I am also looking for people who like what I do and want to help support me to get to the contests that will help me qualify for the WSL....financially it's the most expensive thing to do.
