About Me

Being born with a disability wasn’t something I chose, but it shaped me. Every day, the world presented challenges—barriers that tried to hold me back. Yet, I refused to let them define me. Instead, I learned to adapt, to find my own path forward.

As a child, I quickly realised that while I couldn’t always change my surroundings, I could change how I navigated them. That resilience was forged through countless moments of discomfort, from starting over at eight different schools to feeling like I didn’t quite belong. Yet, those experiences gave me something invaluable: flexibility in my thinking and an unwavering determination.

Life was a whirlwind of change, but sport became my anchor. It was more than just an activity—it was a space where I felt strong, capable, and free. The moment I joined the Wheelchair Sports Club at nine years old, everything shifted. For the first time, I was surrounded by people who understood what it meant to face similar challenges. I wasn’t just accepted; I was celebrated.

That was where my journey began, though I had no idea at the time just how far it would take me. Years later, sport continued to shape my life in ways I could never have imagined. Para ice hockey, in particular, became a passion. The speed, the strategy, the camaraderie—it ignited a fire in me. On the ice, I wasn’t defined by my disability. I was defined by my determination, my skills, and my love for the game.

But my story isn’t just about sport; it’s about creating change. That’s why I founded Wheelie Essential, a brand born from my own challenges. I saw a gap in the world of assistive technology—a lack of products that truly empower people with disabilities. So, I decided to fill it. With Wheelie Essential, it’s not just about products; it’s about possibilities. It’s about reminding people that being differently abled doesn’t make anyone less—it makes us extraordinary.

Today, as I juggle my roles as an entrepreneur, a para ice hockey player, and an advocate, I carry the lessons sport taught me into every aspect of my life. Resilience, adaptability, and a deep belief that we are capable of more than we ever realise—those are the values I live by. And through Wheelie Essential and the opportunities I’ve embraced, I hope to inspire others to redefine what’s possible for themselves.

The road hasn’t always been smooth, but every challenge has brought me closer to where I’m meant to be. Whether it’s blazing down the ice with my teammates or designing tools that give others their independence, one thing is clear: the best is yet to come.
