How did you get involved in basketball? I began when I was under-10. My older brother played and my dad coached.

Major basketball achievements:
Representing Vic Country at Country Cup competitions.
Playing for the Young Lady Braves at age 15 in 2013.
South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL) debut for the Lady Braves in 2014, playing 11 matches.
National Intensive Training Program squad
What do you hope to gain from your time in the NITP? I'm looking for overall improvement as an individual player.
What has been the highlight of your basketball career so far? Playing SEABL for the Lady Braves and touring and playing in the USA with a Braves development side in 2012.
What are your future basketball goals? To make the under-18 Vic Country team; play college basketball in the USA; play in the WNBL or WNBA; and to travel and play at the highest level I am capable of.
