At age 20 I started training in MMA. After my first amateur fight — at a country show in Geraldton with about 900 people — I became obsessed with the feeling of competing.

Favourite aspect of training or favourite session of the week, and why:
Sparring on Mondays and Wednesdays. These sessions take it out of you the most, and you feel the most alive after a hard sparring session. Everything you practise in other sessions becomes evident in live sparring.

What are your greatest strengths as an athlete or a fighter:
My pressure — whether standing or on the ground, I can push the pace and force mistakes out of my opponents.

Mainly a boxing/wrestling style. I look to finish with my hands, and if that falls short, I’ll take my opponent down.

Thank you all so much for watching. I’ll do my best to put on a great performance and not disappoint. Much love to everyone supporting me.
