SUNDAY SERVICE
She works at a supermarket in Beaudesert, QLD, Australia. Each Sunday she helps a customer called John, who is 90 years old and partially blind. "I look forward to my Sunday shifts because I help [John], he's like my grandfather. I've memorised his whole grocery list, every week he gets the same thing. If he doesn't come in I ring him [and ask], 'Where are you? I'm waiting for you'. It's been so amazing [working at the supermarket], my whole staff have been so supportive of whatever I've wanted to do in my sporting career. Whenever I've wanted to take time off they would give me that time off and they're actually paying my wage when I go overseas so that will be a massive stress off financially as well, so I'm incredibly grateful for that." (news.com.au, 10 Jul 2021)

AMBASSADOR
She has served as an ambassador for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals [RSPCA] Queensland in Australia. "I've always been really passionate about animals and their well-being so I thought it would be great to use my platform to help bring awareness to all of the great things that RSPCA does for the wider animal community."
