Mum to two children aged 14 and 10, has lived her life either on or next to the water. She spent two years preparing for the 2020 TWAC but after several life changing events leading up to the race, the decision was made for her to postpone her adventure. Her previous rowing accolades over the last 15 years, coastal and ocean rowing experience, passion for life and inherent determination has made her the driving force and natural choice to lead the team on this epic adventure.
