"I loved it from the start. It was just so freeing being on the water. But I was one of those kids who wanted to play everything, I just hated the thought of dropping something. My parents were really supportive, taking me from my netball game straight to sailing training." (stuff.co.nz, 21 Nov 2019)

To compete at the Olympic Games in 2020 and 2024. (stuff.co.nz, 21 Nov 2019)

She trains five days a week. (stuff.co.nz, 21 Nov 2019)

"Having role models was really important to me. Girls need role models who are just like them. When I started, my role models were the sailors just a few steps ahead of me. If we can all give back to the people who are just two steps below us, and give them a helping hand up, it will be invaluable. I try through coaching or just talking to girls at the yacht club. I've had some tough times, but they've made me want it just a bit more." (stuff.co.nz, 21 Nov 2019)
