I spent my childhood playing and competing in a wide range of sports; gymnastics, tennis, netball, triathlon, surf life saving and swimming to name a few! Competing at a high level across a number of these sports seeded my passion for exercise science, which ultimately led me down the path of coaching in the fields of exercise and nutrition science. I studied at the University of South Australia, completing a double degree with a Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science and Nutrition and Food Sciences. In my 4th year of university, I was awarded an internship at the Adelaide Crows Football Club, and went on to work in their high performance sporting environment for 5 years, specifically as a Sports Nutritionist with their Crows AFLW team. Throughout my time at the AFC I was lucky enough to be a part of two premiership wins with the AFLW team (2019 & 2022), this role allowed me to work closely with elite level female athletes, a population i hope to continue working closely with throughout my career. 

AB Performance Nutrition was established in 2020, and is a space where myself and my team get to empower athletes and active individuals of all ages and levels to fuel their bodies for health and performance in sport, exercise and life in general!  I take an evidenced based, holistic and balanced approach to nutrition and overall health, which I believe is key in supporting clients to become the healthiest and highest performing version of themselves. In between running my business I love spending time at the beach or anywhere along our beautiful SA coastline! I love spending time outdoors, travelling the world and dining out at delicious restaurants with my family and friends. I am definitely no Masterchef but my cooking skills have come a long way since I started working in nutrition! I love feeling fit and strong, and pushing myself mentally and physically in the gym - another place you’ll find me fairly regularly!

I grew up on a farm in country south Australia, about 2 hours north of Adealide. I spent my free time participating in numerous sports, with calisthenics and basketball being my chosen sports from an early age. I quickly became involved in any sport i was allowed to; ranging from netball to basketball, tennis softball or touch rugby and spent a lot of my time on the river involved in all watersports! From the age of 15 i had to select just the one sport where i chose netball, which quickly took up most of my time outside of school. 

I have been involved with South Australian underage netball teams, winning 3 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze medal. I have been part of the Australian Centre of Excellence squads as well as the U21 Youth World Cup squad, and more recently the Australian Fast 5 squad. I have been in the Adelaide Thunderbirds squad for 5 years now and most recently became a premiership player in 2023 and 2024. These opportunities have provided me with experiences and knowledge that i am keen to pass on. 

In my spare time i loves trialling new brunch places and i am a big coffee lover! I often like spending my spare time relaxing or catching up with family and friends. I love keeping fit and my favourite type of training is definitely strength focused, although i am finding a love for cross training at the moment! 

I believe it is important you create healthy habits that are sustainable and enjoyable long term, rather than looking for a quick fix that cant be maintained.
