She first took up lessons at Swimsation in Dunedin, New Zealand. She began competing at age 10. (swimming.org.nz, 28 Jul 2019; tvnz.co.nz, 23 May 2019)

"I started swimming in a learn to swim programme when I was very young and after completing most of the levels I joined the Dunedin squad system and started racing. I love the competitive side of swimming, being able to race teammates and friends for bragging rights or chocolate is always fun! I love the way I move and feel in water." (olympic.org.nz, 18 Oct 2018)
