Bio
At 17 years old, I was told I was by the director of football that I was too small and underdeveloped to play high-level football. Hearing that was difficult, and for a long time it affected my confidence and the way I viewed myself. Rather than accepting that as my ceiling, I became determined to understand how the body adapts to training. I immersed myself in strength training and nutrition, not only to become a better athlete but to prove to myself that meaningful change was possible.
Years of consistent training transformed both my performance and my mindset. What began as a personal challenge developed into a genuine appreciation for the power of exercise to build confidence, resilience and long-term health.
While completing my Exercise Physiology degree at the University of Sydney, I faced another major setback when I was diagnosed with glandular fever. I spent nearly a month bedridden and lost around 15 kilograms, most of it muscle that had taken years to build. Starting again from what felt like square one was physically and mentally challenging, but it reinforced one of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned: progress is rarely linear. Recovery requires patience, consistency and trusting the process. Applying the same evidence-based principles I was learning at university, I gradually rebuilt myself to become stronger than I had been before.
Today, I combine my professional knowledge with lived experience to help people overcome their own challenges. Whether someone is recovering from injury, managing a chronic condition, improving athletic performance or simply wanting to move with greater confidence, my goal is to help them discover what they’re capable of through evidence-based exercise.
