Why do you like sailing your class of boat
I love the pumping and rolling the boats.

What should people watch out for at your event?
All the teams pumping and rolling the boats to get full speed out of the boat.

When I am not sailing I am...
Running or hanging with mates.

What does it mean to represent Australia at the Games
No words can describe what it means for me. Myself and everyone close to me gave up everything to help me get to this point.

What are you most excited about for the Games
Race one and the closing ceremony

Favourite place to sail in the world
Palma

Favourite place to sail in Australia
Lake Macquarie

Favourite conditions to sail in and why
13-18 knots. I love that wind range because you get perfect waves and its all about who is the smartest and strongest sailors.

What's the most interesting part about the Olympic venue
The race courses are all so different.

What result are you most proud of
Olympic Test Event in 2023, where we finished sixth and almost got a medal.
