Representing her dad's country PNG in mother's home country England, was a great and unique experience. Seeing the change and impact of The PNG Orchid's, Papua New Guinea's national women's rugby league team, in the community inspires her to continue to want to play for the country. Seeing the videos sent to the team from PNG saying "thank you for inspiring my daughter" has motivated her and the team to want to do better.
