About Me: I grew up messing around on my BMX with my brothers, but I didn’t really start riding properly until my early thirties when my husband bought me a mountain bike for my 29th birthday. Since then, cycling has become a huge part of my life. I’ve raced in the Women’s National Road Series for three consecutive years, taken part in mountain bike events, and ridden a range of gravel events — most recently the Graveleur Clarke’s Gambit, where I placed second. I’m at a point in my life where I want to give back to the cycling community and help others experience that same joy. I get a lot of satisfaction from supporting and encouraging people, and I love that cycling is accessible to everyone — young, old, and with e-bikes now, there really are no limits.
Lives: Pambula Beach NSW

Best Cycling Memory: I’m fortunate to have so many incredible cycling memories. Mountain biking in Whistler, riding through Spain’s mountains and the Pyrenees with my husband, and weekly Monday-night MTB sessions with friends at Gravity Eden are some standout moments.
