Nickname: Depends who you ask - Juddy, Riles, Spud

Occupation: PE Teacher

Best piece of advice you have received: When contemplating if to move to the Northern Territory or not, advice I received was if you don't go you will never know and there is no harm in moving back to Victoria if you don't like it… four years later I am still living in the NT

Sporting highlight or greatest achievement to date: Being drafted to the Adelaide FC in 2016. Winning an A Grade Netball Grand Final for Redan in the Ballarat Football Netball League in 2011

What’s your brief history in footy: Growing up I played a lot of netball and tennis as there were no real football opportunities for girls back then. I did Auskick when in primary school between grades three and six. I played two AFL mini-league games at half time of the AFL on Waverly Park and the MCG. During high school I played school football for Mt Clear College in Ballarat. When studying at uni I represented Ballarat University in AFL at the Australian University Games in 2011. In 2013 I moved to Katherine (NT) and because football didn't clash with netball in the NT, I started playing club footy in Darwin. I have played three seasons at the Tracy Village Football Club and represented the NT the past two years
