Bio

As both an athlete and parent of an Australian athletics team member, I bring over 20 years' experience coaching across diverse settings. This includes coaching WA State and International team athletes, State Development Squads and at numerous clubs and centres - from intensive workshops to entire seasons. I also coach at local schools during their athletics programs and support many individual athletes on a sessional basis. I am passionate about coaching and love assisting those chasing their dreams.

While comfortable coaching most track and field events, Jumps is my greatest area of expertise. My approach is enriched by learnings from past Olympians, World Championship representatives and elite coaches, as well as High Performance Training Camps, specialist Education and Training Clinics and Advanced Coaching Seminars (delivered by AA, LAA, AW, AIS, WAIS and PA). For two decades I have also served as an official (World Athletics National Athletics Referee-NAR) at many State, National and International events. 

Outside athletics, I work as a Lecturer in Community Services and Youth Work with qualifications in Psychology and Post Graduate studies in Teaching and Counselling. My love of sport also extends to kayaking with 7x Avon Descent class wins and current record. It's a passion I share with my son, who now competes as part of the AUS Wildwater Kayaking Team.
