How you got involved in football: I played competition basketball and the captain of my team talked me into AFL training where she was also the captain because I was always getting fouled out.

Biggest influence on your football: Nicole Graves helped me develop my skills and understanding of the game through talent programs in WA. I would not be the footballer I am today without her influence.
