COVID-19 IMPACT
In March 2020, during the initial lockdown in New Zealand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she moved from her usual training base at Lake Karapiro in Cambridge, New Zealand, to live with her father in Tekapo, New Zealand. She decided not to move in with her mother or her sister, who work as nurses, because she suffers from asthma. "I wanted to be away from town so there's less chance of contracting the virus. I've got asthma so I try to avoid the virus, and they [her mother and her sister] have the potential of coming into contact with people who have it." (stuff.co.nz, 04 Apr 2020)

Milestones

She was part of the first New Zealand women's eight boat to win gold at the world championships, when she and her crewmates were victorious at the 2019 edition of the tournament in Linz Ottensheim, Austria. (stuff.co.nz, 03 Sep 2019; tvnz.co.nz, 02 Sep 2019; SportsDeskOnline, 11 Aug 2020)

She was part of the first New Zealand women's eight boat to compete at the Olympic Games when she rowed at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro. The crew finished fourth. (SportsDeskOnline, 11 Aug 2020)
