I began kayaking at the age of 13 at CSBOP in Tauranga, New Zealand

I initially took up the sport to keep fit for rugby and basketball and little did I know that I would love it so much that it is now the ONLY sport I do.

Canoe Slalom is awesome because of the excitement, the rush of the white water and the thrill of competing.

My Mum

I pray before my race to get in the zone.

Stay focussed. Race smarter, not harder.

To qualify for the Olympics in 2020 for Fiji.
Not sure what career yet but something international that involves sport would be great.

I became the first ever canoe slalom kayaker for Fiji in 2014.

I do 8 sessions per week on the water. Concentrating on technique, speed and endurance and a couple of sessions on the water water. Alongside this, time in the gym, on the bike and on the road.

My goal in all is to 'keep focussed on what I am doing and what I am training for."
