OCCUPATION
She works on her family's farm in Victoria, Australia, and also works as a lifeguard and swimming instructor at Bluewater Leisure Centre in Colac, VIC, Australia. (Facebook profile, 06 Jan 2021; standard.net.au, 23 Jun 2020)

TRAINING CHANGE
After missing out on selection for the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, QLD, Australia, she made changes to her training regime with a view to competing at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "I knuckled down a bit more with my training and stepped up my fitness a bit more. I changed to a different sports psychologist and I think that's really been a helping point. Some people say they're beneficial, some people say they're not. But I think for me and the hole I was in, I needed something to get myself out of it." (standard.net.au, 23 Jan 2019)
