I started racing when I was only 9 years old. Dad bought us some buggies to bash around in the park, but the grass was always too long. So that idea was quickly over, or so we thought. One day dad decided to take us to the local track and that is where it all began…
The real racing started in 2018, we started to travel to different tracks and started to keep a racing journal on Facebook.
The thing that I love most about RC racing is being able to travel every week to different tracks, the whole family races(including mum) competing with others, challenging our selves, making lots of friends and having lots of fun as a family. We have raced at Keilor Off Road, Knox RC Off Road Club, Shepparton Radio Controlled Car Club, Mildura RC Car Club, Wodonga Radio Controlled car club, Adelaide Radio Control Raceway and Launceston R/C.

My long-term goals through hard work is to compete at a very high level, travel and win a Nationals Title. To continue to help others (especially to younger racers as it has been done to me) and promote this sport through my photography.
