Personal Interests

As a sports participation advocate, I host and am executive producer of two podcasts in this space (ASC Media Award finalist Sportish, and Play On: Helping Kids Stay in the Game). I also speak at schools, clubs and parent groups at the importance of keeping kids involved in sport (firmly believing it’s one of the best public health measures available). With 3 busy kids our weekends are spent driving around to all their activities, and whenever possible I love to sneak in a cheeky run!
