Over the 7 years of juggling University around my sporting career I have been fortunate enough, with the Kookaburras; to compete in and win gold medals at two Commonwealth games, play at two world cups, win a World League and Champions Trophy, play over 100 games for my country, miss selection for an Olympics (it can’t always be good), travel the world and most importantly challenge myself to grow as a person, plus hopefully add some value to the people and organisations I have been involved with along the way.
