Sports Co-ordinator
2025 - Present
Can you tell us a little about your role at Loyola College?
I started here at Loyola College in April, 2025. My role at the school involves co-ordinating and running ACS Sport Days and supporting various aspects of our Sports Program. Anything from booking transport, umpires, venues and making sure our students have all the correct uniform and equipment for their sport. I also assist in running all our School Carnival days which include Swimming, Athletics and Cross-Country.
What does a normal day at Loyola College look like in your role?
No two days feel the same for me in this role, which is one of the things I love most. A typical day in the life though is making sure our students have everything they need to participate in their respective sports program at a high level. Making sure transport is booked and on time, safety equipment and uniforms are prepared and then managing fixtures and results on the back-end of every game/round that is played
What do you enjoy most about your work at Loyola College?
Multiple aspects of my job. The people I work with, watching teams succeed in their respective sports and being apart of the Loyola community and what that has to offer.
If you could choose any dinner guest (outside of immediate family or friends), who would they be and why?
Lebron James. I'm a massive fan of the NBA and so to have dinner with someone who has been around the game for so long, and done everything that the game has to offer - I think would be pretty cool.
What is something people may not know about you that you would like to share?
I used to be in a high level football umpire. I was apart of the development squad with the VFL Umping department.
