Life beyond Radford

I live in Canberra and play basketball in the Women’s National Basketball League for the UC Canberra Capitals while working at the Australian Treasury as a Policy Analyst.

There are plenty to choose from. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Radford and wish I could do it all again. I made a lot of great friends, many of whom I am still close with today, and felt at home in the Radford community. A fond memory that sticks out was listening to the speech that was given by a former student each year at the Foundation Day opening assembly.

My family.

Not easy, and I am ever contemplating what I want to do and what is next for me. That’s the beauty of life, it evolves as you do, there will always be opportunities if you are willing to have a go and work hard.

After finishing Year 12 at Radford College I was offered an athletic scholarship to attend University and play basketball in the US. It was a fantastic experience and an opportunity that I am very thankful for and fortunate to have had. After graduating I returned to Australia and started playing with the Capitals. In 2014, I was offered a place in the Treasury Graduate program. I am enjoying combining playing basketball in the WNBL while working at Treasury as a Policy Analyst and the different challenges it brings.

Enjoy it, some of the best friendships you have will be made at school. Listen to your teachers, work hard, but don't be too tough on yourself, and most of all have fun.
