The 19-year-old was named best and fairest for the Cavaliers' under-19 side last season and is a former student at Hagley Farm Primary School, Prospect High School and Launceston College.
Highlight of your career so far?
I think when I was 17 making the Australian squad - I didn't get to go away because I did my ACL, but I think just making it was a big highlight.
It was tough [to miss out on playing] but getting to see someone else go away and get that opportunity rather than me just sitting on the sidelines, I was happy for someone else to get that chance.
What was it like winning last year's under-19 title?
The year before when they won the first grand final I was out with my knee, so coming back last year as my first year back and getting that premiership was a very good feeling.
Biggest influence on your career?
I'm going to go with the classic, my Mum.
She knows a bit about netball, I wouldn't say she's an expert, but she's supported me in every decision I've made and has been one of the people that would push me towards doing that extra one per cent to go further.
She was there for me the whole way through my rehab and I couldn't thank anyone else more.

What was it like working at Bunnings during the COVID lockdown?
It was very hectic because obviously we were one of the very few stores still open.
We had lines out the front, so many people, and because I work out the back we were getting Christmas stock - it was very intense and busy.
Who's your favourite teammate?
I would probably say Monique Dufty - she's just on and off-court always there for anyone and everyone.
I'm quite close with her away from netball as well and anything you need she's always there and obviously she's a really good player.
Who is your netball hero?
I don't really have one particular one - I see the [Super Netball] shooters and they're all so accurate and the way that they hold ... I just look at all the aspects of their play, not just one particular person.
The way that they play, the way they move, I look up at a fair few for different aspects.
What's it like playing goal shooter?
This year's a bit different for me - being quite tall growing up I was told to hold but move as well, but this year I've been told to focus on just holding.
I found it hard not being able to run around that little bit I can move, so just trying to hold and work on that and knowing when it's not working.
It's been a bit of a different playing structure for me but I think I'm getting used to it.
