My story

I joined TDA midway through 2024 after dedicating the six years before that to studying and rowing. I have a natural passion for sport and love writing about it because I believe in its power as both a uniting force and a setting for compelling and timeless stories.

What I'm proud of

How quickly the TDA Sport subscriber list is growing, and the way The Daily Aus punches above its weight (like any great Aussie athlete on the world stage).
