I have been part of the Crusaders Rugby Academy in Christchurch for the past two and a half years, balancing intense training and playing Premier Rugby for the University of Canterbury with part-time study and work as a teacher aide. I debuted for the Tasman Mako in 2024, co-captained the MBC First XV in 2022, and represented the NZ Barbarians U18 in 2022 and 2023, before joining the Crusaders U20 squad from 2023–2025.

I was recently selected for the New Zealand U20 team to compete at the World Cup in Italy in mid-2025 and just returned from South Africa, where we won the championship against South Africa, Argentina, and Australia. Over the next year, I aim to compete at the World Cup, play in the 2025 Mako NPC campaign, and secure a development Super Rugby contract. My five-year goal is to earn a full Super Rugby contract with the Crusaders and represent New Zealand internationally.
