How and Why Did You Start Weightlifting?
I was selected through TID search at school,  ever since then you haven’t been able to pull me away from the gym.

Best Moment In The Sport?

For now it would have to be getting 72.5kg at the 2004 open nationals. It wasn’t really about the weight, but it meant that I had overcome everything I went through in the year leading up to it.

Worst Moment In The Sport?
I would have to say bombing at 2003 all schools and dropping 62.5kg clean and jerk on my head…………  ouch!  But every bad experience makes you stronger.

Person You Most Admire in Weightlifting?
The people who I look up to would be the older girls in our gym.  Melissa for her positivism, Amanda for her dedication to the sport, Deb for the amazing things she has overcome and she is still a down to earth person.  My coach Angie has had a big impact on me as well, she puts so much time and effort into her lifters.
