I am currently enrolled in a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) at the University of the Sunshine Coast. As an elite weightlifter, I have firsthand experience of the challenges athletes face in injury recovery. This program provides me with the expertise to bridge the gap between rehabilitation and high-performance sport, ultimately helping athletes return to peak condition while minimising future injury risks.

Most of my income goes directly toward expenses related to being an elite athlete, leaving little financial flexibility for my university studies. To undertake clinical placements, I must meet a range of mandatory requirements which incur significant costs. Receiving this scholarship will provide critical financial support, allowing me to focus on my studies without the stress of covering these expenses, so I can contribute to the future of sports rehabilitation and performance enhancement.
