When I was 12 years old I went on my first international trip without my parents to compete against the best juniors around the world.

I represented Australia in the Junior Fed Cup where we came 4th overall, as well as being orange girl for the first time at Fed Cup in a tie against Serbia. Won my first ITF 25k title in Perth when I was 16, where I came from qualifying, playing 8 matches to capture the title in nearly 38 degrees heat every day. In 2018 I won my second 25k title in Canberra on clay then headed to Europe to win the Santa Margherita 25k title also on clay. Recently I won my 4th ITF title in Orense, Spain, which was probably the most memorable after being injured for 1 year.

I have played all Grand slams (I can’t pick a favourite) making the final round in New York twice. In 2017 I competed in the Australian Open main draw where I won my first round match then played Svetlana Kuznetsova on Margaret Court Arena in front of my family and friends. A couple months later I played the French Open WC where my sister made a bet, that if I win it she would fly to Paris to support me. I took Caroline Wozniacki to 3 sets on the most magnificent clay court I’ve ever played on (Suzanne Lenglen) with my sister watching me from the stands and Rafa playing after me. Off court I volunteer my time and mentor juniors around Australia.

August last year I raised $1700 for mental health research which I’m very proud of.
