My brother is 8 years older than me, and was heavily involved in football, so I tagged along wherever he went and loved playing kick to kick with him whenever I could. I then went on to play 50+ games as a junior, until the rules made me stop. There was no Youth Girls football back in the day, so that was the end of football for me until about 8-10 years later. I was emailed by a school friend (Wotto!), who asked for supporters to come and cheer the Devils on in their round 1 game of 2003. I asked her if I could come and train as I loved football.

Favourite moment/highlight in your playing career?
The Devils winning against powerhouse Melbourne Uni for the first time in our history in 2004. It was like we won the grand final! I’m hoping that this season brings the greatest highlight though, with a VWFL Grand Final and premiership high up on the priority list!
Other Sporting achievements:
I’ve represented Victoria in rowing on a number of occasions
