My Wild Life.

A woman running on a gravel trail in a lush, green forest during a daytime race, wearing a pink top, black shorts, and red running shoes, with a race bib number 1462.

I began running when I was 20, and since then I have fallen passionately in love with the movement. Although I love all surfaces and disciplines within the sport, it is Mountain, Ultra and Trail Running that excites me most. I feel at home among nature, the gnarlier and more rugged the better. I have proudly run for Salomon Australia since 2018, and am forever grateful for the support of my running coach Tim Crosbie, my training group The Crosbie Crew, and the many other people I have built into my team to get me where I am. I now have a wealth of experience from spending the last 4 years travelling the world competing on international circuits such as the Golden Trail World Series and SkyRunner World Series, as well as competing around Australia at some of our biggest events.

The other side of my life is filled with creating spaces where people can learn the joy of movement for themselves. My favourite thing to do beyond running myself is coaching others towards their own goals and along the way imparting as much knowledge as I can to help improve their lives in any way I can. As a certified Personal Trainer with almost a decade of experience I also love incorporating strength planning into my run coaching to create well rounded athletes. Beyond this I also Co-host the podcast Peak Pursuits, share my journey via YouTube, and am an aunty 13 times over!
