I am studying a Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology with a goal to become an accredited exercise physiologist who empowers people with disabilities to achieve their goals and reach their full potential.

My childhood dream was to be a veterinarian; however, living with multiple disabilities meant my options were limited. Looking for a new path, I turned to sport and was inspired by my triathlon coach, who helped me achieve my dream of becoming a Paralympian and dramatically improved my quality of life by utilising exercise as medicine.

With this degree, I hope to become the healthcare professional that I needed when I was younger and use my lived experience to help patients feel understood, validated and supported and reach their full potential.
