NEW CLUB AND TRAINING BASE
In 2023 she moved from Brisbane, QLD, Australia, to Canberra, ACT, Australia, to be based at the National Training Centre with coach Josh Fabian. She also left her long-time club Delta Gymnastics and joined All The Way Up Gymnastics, which is based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. "After much thought and consideration, I've made my decision to stay in Canberra for both my training and club activities. My Delta family has played a huge role in my life these past eight years [speaking in 2023]. I have been a Queenslander since I was born and repped the maroon for 14 years. It is because of these amazing experiences that I now feel ready to turn the page and begin a new chapter of my life."

EARLY DAYS
From age nine to 13 she lived with her mother in Brisbane, QLD, Australia, which was about an hour's drive away from the family home in the Gold Coast. She made the move in order to train regularly with coaches Olga Beloousov and Sasha Beloousov. "For four years my mum and I lived apart from my father and my brother but everyone understood. It was hard. Every Saturday after training mum and I would pack up the car and drive back to the Gold Coast for the weekend. Then, on Sunday night we would pack up again and head back to Brisbane ready for training on the Monday morning. I loved having my dad and brother around, but those are some of the sacrifices you have to make. They gave me every opportunity and I wouldn't be here without them so I'm very thankful."

HERITAGE
She was excited to compete at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo because she has Japanese heritage on her mother's side. "My grandfather [who lives in Japan] has been there for me since day one and he is just so full of wisdom. He has such a soothing presence and whenever I am falling apart, I just talk to him and he makes it better. He tells me to just keep going, one foot in front of the other, and just to go at my own pace. My mum is Japanese and dad is fluent in the language. I spoke Japanese before going to preschool and learning English." (intlgymnast.com, 05 Oct 2022; Sporting News Australia YouTube channel, 11 Aug 2021; olympics.com.au, 24 Feb 2020)

FAVOURITE APPARATUS
Her favourite discipline is the floor exercise. "I do love all of them, but I love competing on the floor. I love just tumbling, just smiling, really performing for the crowd." (Sporting News Australia YouTube channel, 11 Aug 2021)

PREVIOUS OCCUPATION
She previously worked as a medical imaging assistant at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane, QLD, Australia. "I used to work in a hospital but that was very taxing on the legs, body and mind, so I am now [speaking in 2022] working from home, doing admin for a gardening business. I do currently work 20 hours on top of training. I am not in a position where I can live without the income, so I have to make it work."
