Sport and exercise became more than just a way to stay fit and healthy, it was a lifeline. Moving my body gave me strength when I felt weak, energy when I felt stuck, and hope when life felt heavy. It reminded me that even if I couldn’t control my vision loss, I could still control how I wanted to live my life.

Every time I competed and embarked on a new life changing adventure, I reclaimed a little more of my identity and sense of self.

I went on to become a nationally competing para-athlete and triathlete, excelling in para-cycling on my tandem bike, Ruby Tuesday. 

I teamed up with an incredible pilot and guide, we reached heights I never thought possible. 

This success inspired me to seek new adventures. I walked the Camino across Spain, cross-country skied in Utah, and climbed Mount Kosciuszko. 

I began traveling as a vision-impaired solo traveler, coached young vision impaired athletes at Camp Abilities in the USA and continued to set bigger goals, smashing stereotypes of what’s possible for someone with a disability. 

My incredible transformative journey continues to unfold, proving that with the right mindset, support, and determination, anything is possible.
