Meet the Team

My jump rope story began in 2009, when I watched a local Canberra jump rope club perform at my school fete. One of the skippers was my cousin, and I was instantly captivated. I suffered severe anxiety as a child and always felt worried about trying new things. Curious and inspired by the performance, I decided to give jump rope a go.

By 2010, I had joined a recreational class and I moved into competitive jump rope in 2011, and haven’t looked back since. Over more than a decade of training, performing, judging and coaching, I have experienced almost every side of the sport, from local performances to international competitions and have progressed from learning as a child to leading as a coach.

Jump rope gave me a confidence I never thought I’d find. It helped me overcome my anxiety, connect with people all over the world, and believe in myself. I started to succeed in other areas of my life such as school and be more confident to try new things.

A coach at heart, I began coaching in 2017 and have worked with jumpers aged five through to adulthood. I spent four years as a Head Coach for recreational athletes, where my focus went beyond skills, prioritising confidence, courage, and a sense of belonging. My favourite part of coaching is building genuine relationships and creating a safe, supportive environment which gives students the confidence to achieve their goals.

Watching a child light up when they land a new trick or realise they can do something they thought they couldn’t, that’s the best feeling in the world.

I have also coached field hockey for 6 years, and have also worked with the Hockey ACT on the school roadshows program within ACT Primary Schools. I am very proud to be a Hockey ACT regional coach taking teams away to state championships all over NSW.

I describe my coaching style as patient, encouraging, and positive, always centred on helping each individual grow at their own pace and supporting them to achieve what they are capable of.

With more than 15 years in the sport, I recognised the need for programs that go beyond physical skill, programs that build confidence and connection, especially in schools.

After stepping back from competition and coaching, I realised I wasn’t ready to leave the sport I loved. In 2026, I founded Alzanti Jump, a business built from my belief that jump rope can change lives.

I want to share this sport with Canberra and all of Australia. Jump Rope as a sport has been around for generations, but is rarely recognised for its full potential. I want to grow it, build it, and show people how powerful it can be. Every detail, from session plans to resources, is designed to make jump rope accessible, sustainable, and fun.

My leadership is grounded in empathy and trust. I see every child, especially those who feel shy, different or overlooked and help them to feel capable to achieve.

I didn’t fit in the box at school, so I always notice other kids who didn’t either. I want every child to know they’re welcome, they belong, and they’re believed in.
