I play a number of musical instruments and perform with my sister. I also skate and hang with friends. What is your favourite subject at school? My favourite subject is music. What is your greatest achievement in your sport so far? My greatest achievement is making the state carnival two years in a row, and having one of the fastest times in my age group.

I started training and entering carnivals.
