I spent my childhood playing and competing in a wide range of sports; gymnastics, tennis, netball, triathlon, surf life saving and swimming to name a few! Competing at a high level across a number of these sports seeded my passion for exercise science, which ultimately led me down the path of coaching in the fields of exercise and nutrition science. I studied at the University of South Australia, completing a double degree with a Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science and Nutrition and Food Sciences. In my 4th year of university, I was awarded an internship at the Adelaide Crows Football Club, and went on to work in their high performance sporting environment for 5 years, specifically as a Sports Nutritionist with their Crows AFLW team. Throughout my time at the AFC I was lucky enough to be a part of two premiership wins with the AFLW team (2019 & 2022), this role allowed me to work closely with elite level female athletes, a population i hope to continue working closely with throughout my career.
AB Performance Nutrition was established in 2020, and is a space where myself and my team get to empower athletes and active individuals of all ages and levels to fuel their bodies for health and performance in sport, exercise and life in general! I take an evidenced based, holistic and balanced approach to nutrition and overall health, which I believe is key in supporting clients to become the healthiest and highest performing version of themselves. In between running my business I love spending time at the beach or anywhere along our beautiful SA coastline! I love spending time outdoors, travelling the world and dining out at delicious restaurants with my family and friends. I am definitely no Masterchef but my cooking skills have come a long way since I started working in nutrition! I love feeling fit and strong, and pushing myself mentally and physically in the gym - another place you’ll find me fairly regularly!
I grew up in the country town of Horsham, where my passion for sports was ignited through participation in sports, including netball, tennis, gymnastics, and long-distance running. I am still heavily into my distance running, and i enjoy competing in track and road running events. My curiosity about nutrition sparked early on, where i was driven to understand how dietary choices impacted my athletic performance. When i moved to Adelaide 8 years ago, i completed my certificate III and IV in fitness. While continuing to work as a fitness trainer i completed a Bachelor of Nutrition and Exercise Science before recently finishing my Master's in Nutrition and Dietetics at Flinders University. My journey has allowed me to combine my love for sports and fitness with a deep understanding of nutrition. Whether you're striving to enhance sports performance or simply seeking to support your overall well-being, i am dedicated to helping you fuel your body optimally!
