Ella is an athlete who has truly fallen in love with the world of aerial arts. She feels incredibly lucky to have discovered a sport that challenges her, inspires her, and allows her to express herself in the air. Ella lives by the motto: “Dream big, but work harder.” In 2023, Ella began her aerial journey learning silks, and in just a short time she has already completed two full competition seasons. Through dedication, determination, and countless hours of training 6 days a week, Ella has achieved incredible success.

Ella believes in choosing the hard path, because that is where growth happens. She pushes herself to do difficult things because she knows that is how dreams come true. But Ella’s aerial journey is not just about medals or titles. She really want to inspire other young people to dream big, believe in themselves, and never give up, even when they face challenges, failures, or fears. Ella is also a young author and creator of the children’s book Dream Big Little Monkey and Dream Big Tweens/ Teen Journal, which encourage positive mindset, goal-setting and resilience for children and teenagers. She wants everyone to know “You do not give up. You just keep training hard. If you only choose what is easy, you will stay the same.” Her greatest dream is for Aerials to become an Olympic sport and to represent Australia one day at the Olympics. Ella truly loves this sport with all her heart and hopes to inspire others to chase their dreams just as boldly. She is incredibly excited and honoured to have been selected to represent Team Australia at her first international competition this August.
