I play guitar with my friend we try and do covers of songs. It’s a great distraction from the pool.
I'm studying primary education so I’d like to be a primary school teacher. I got the idea from doing appearances with kids and at schools.
I was state ping pong champion in year 5 and my mum didn’t let me go to nationals in Perth because she thought it was stupid.
