My life as a Physie girl in 5 words is…. Physie makes me feel good.
My earliest Physie memory is…….. Watching the syllabus DVD as a 6 year old, and dancing in the garage with my friend, Emma, and aspiring to be just like the performers.
The best piece of advice I ever received was …… Eyes forward, mind focused and heart ready.

My favourite Physie moment was when …. We had the opportunity to hit the floor at Nationals after a long year of COVID and Zoom, where I got to see my friends again and do what I love. It made me realise how grateful I am for Physie in my life. Another memorable moment was filming the 2020 DVD… In a squash court! I got to share this experience with my dad, the cameraman, who played a part in making this experience possible.
I’ll never give up Physie because …. It’s always been my outlet and has given me confidence I need for the real world. I’ve made such great friendships for life because of Physie and I’ll be forever thankful.
I’ll always be grateful for …. My parents. They are my drive and do the best they can to get me where I need to be for Physie. They inspire me and are my number one supporters and always cheer me on.
My favourite routine is…. This years relaxed because it is much different to what I’ve had before but is by far my favourite. It’s stunning and I’m very excited to perform it. The relaxed gives me an opportunity to tell a story and take in the moment.

My favourite thing about performing is…. The ability to express myself and connect with the music.
I am inspired by …. The Strathpine Physie Team! But especially Miss Maddison, who is everything a Physie Girl aspires to be. Ash Barty also inspires me through her sportsmanship and strength in tennis.
