My third season in the AFL was the most rewarding yet. I had the privilege of taking fans behind the scenes at Optus Stadium
and into the inner sanctum of the reigning premier for AFL Social Media.

I also put down the iPhone and picked up a camera — which turned out to be a game changer for me.

I’m really grateful to have met some incredibly talented and supportive people in the industry who trusted me
to contribute to and work on behalf of their digital team, their club and brand.

Here’s how I saw the 2019 AFL Season:
