TELL ME ABOUT YOUR FOOTBALL CAREER, WHERE YOU STARTED AND WHAT YOU HAVE ACHIEVED.

I learnt to play football at 15yo with the Spanish community here is Brisbane and fell in love with the game instantly. I previously played for AC Carina in the BPL before taking a huge leap to play for, and now captain at, Peninsula Power in the NPL. 

I am the current captain for the Australian Indigenous Women’s Football team- the Koala’s, playing and helping to build a legacy for my Indigenous community to showcase their amazing footballing talent on the national stage. 

DESCRIBE YOUR PLAYING STYLE.  WHAT ARE YOUR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES?

I am a right full back. Although we are solid in building up from the back and have one of the best defensive lines in the league, I enjoy running the line and assisting the attacking play any chance I can. I scored 7 goals last season so I’m hoping to knock a few away this year. 

I have no weaknesses. 

DO YOU HAVE ANY PREGAME ROUTINES OR SUPERSTITIONS?

I always get a good nights rest the night before a game and have the music play list sorted for the ladies.

DESCRIBE ONE OF YOUR UNFORGETTABLE FOOTBALL MOMENTS.

I have 2- Definitely scoring a header in the 2022 Koalas Vs Wanderers match and being named the Pen Power Captain of the best team I’ve ever played with. 

WHO ARE YOUR FOOTBALL HEROES?

Kyah Simon and Ellie Carpenter

WHAT ARE YOUR INTERESTS AND HOBBIES OUTSIDE OF FOOTBALL?

Love hanging out with my three beautiful children. You will usually find us at the beach or scoping out the newest playgrounds.
