Hi my name is Mariah Williams and I am a proud Wiradjuri woman 3 x Olympian and a current member of the Australia Women’s Hockey team. I was born and bred in Parkes NSW and lived there until I was 14years old. My love for hockey started there, but once I hit year 9 of my schooling, my family decided to move to Newcastle to further pursue my hockey career. I attended and finished my schooling at Hunter Sports High School where I participated in the Specialized Hockey program. My hockey career started to take off when I debuted for the Hockeyroos at the age of 17 and am still in the program currently at 29 years old. I am currently working for Waalitj Foundation as a Deadly Sista Girlz Mentor and am an Ambassador for Whatability.
