    I have been a part of the Australian swim team since 2009, I made my first Paralympic games in London 2012 (made one final), I have made multiple world champs teams, and recently became a dual Paralympian at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, where I fulfilled my dream of chasing that illusive Paralympic medal for over 13 years and won a Bronze in the 150m Individual medley SM3 and a Silver in the 50m Breastroke SB2.
