I thought it was about time to write and give an update of where I am and what I am up to.

As you will see I have spent some time giving my website a facelift! I had quite a lot of new photos and content after my Olympic debut. I returned to Melbourne end of March, straight back into week four of university.

I played catch up at university and had a few, much needed, weeks break from training and tried to let my injuries heal up. I tried to get some wakeboarding in, but sadly that injury to my shin when I hit the fence persisted in giving me grief. I had a great time away at Bonnie Doon nonetheless.

I managed to pick up a job as a mascot. I work usually three or four times a week as Gilbert the Gecko which has proved to be really good fun. I am also assisting to run the snow sports dry-land programme at a local school.

I am still working as a personal assistant as well when needed. I have started back physical training and I’m coming into my last week for this semester at University. I will be completing my last subject next semester and should have my degree in Multimedia (Business Marketing) come November.

My three jobs are flexible and with just one subject at University next semester it should allow me quite a lot of time for training leading up to the next northern season. I am unsure of my plans this southern season, but I will try to get on snow if I can. I have been asked to do a photo shoot in New Zealand early September which is awesome.

My injuries are getting better and physical gains are coming back slowly. I also got my Olympic bib and all the 17 nation pins that I spent so much time collecting, framed and it looks great!

I will be in touch soon!
