Sporting philosophy / motto |
"You can't buy confidence. It comes from taking note of what you do in the pool, from pushing times or completing this or that, and I think you just have to take confidence in the small things in the everyday training environment." (olympics.com.au, 03 Apr 2019) |

OTHER ACTIVITIES
In 2018 she established West Coast Dress Hire in Perth, WA, Australia. In 2021 she sold the business in order to focus on swimming. "I wouldn't say this business was to do with broadening my interests, it was more of a hobby initially and it's just such an increasing market in Australia for dress hire, so I started West Coast Dress Hire and it has literally just grown from there."
