Hey, I'm Katie!

I'm a Pro Strongwoman who competes across Australia and all around the world. I've been training hard since 2018, but it wasn't until 2021 that I found my true passion for strongman - and I haven't looked back since!

Lifting heavy came naturally to me, and I love the variety strongman offers. There's something pretty special about moving serious weight in all kinds of wild and wonderful ways!

Some of my highlights include placing 4th at Worlds Strongest Woman in 2024, winning the Arnold Amateur/Pro show in Ohio, Columbus in 2025, and breaking multiple national and world records - especially in overhead pressing, which is my specialty.

In 2026, I'll be stepping onto the Rogue stage at the Arnold Strongman Classic, competing alongside the strongest men and women in the world.

Outside of the gym, you'll find me behind the lights and sirens working as a paramedic. I thrive on the adrenaline and challenge of ambulance work, and I love being there for people when they need it most.

My Approach to Nutrition

My biggest challenge when it comes to nutrition is simply eating enough. Between my busy schedule and not being a fan of cooking, getting in enough quality food each day can be tough.

To make things easier, I keep it super convenient. I meal prep my breakfast the night before, and I rely on fresh, pre-made meals delivered straight to my door for lunch and dinner.

Protein powders and bars are my go-to snacks—they're easy to throw in my bag or keep in the car, so I’ve always got something on hand. Having meals and snacks ready to go means less time spent thinking about food and fewer excuses to skip it. It helps me stay on track, even when life’s chaotic.

Average daily calorie intake: Approx 2500.

Is there a type/style of diet you follow? Just a simple high protein diet.

Are there any foods you avoid? Spicy foods - even pepper can be too spicy.

Are there any foods you crave? Chocolate!

What's your go-to cheat meal? A burger always hits the spot.

Training Schedule

My training shifts depending on whether I’m in comp prep or off-season, but I always aim to train four times a week. With shift work as a paramedic, I’ve had to learn to be flexible - sometimes I’m squeezing sessions in after work, other times it’s before a night shift. You make it work!

Most of my training days start with 1–2 main lifts, followed by 3–4 accessory movements to round things out.

Here’s an example of one of my current training days:

  • Log clean & press: 6 sets of 2 reps at 90kg
  • Barbell push press from rack (paused dip): 4 sets of 4 reps at 80kg
  • Behind the neck strict press (slow tempo): 4 sets of 5 reps at 55kg
  • Rear delt flys: 3 sets of 12 reps
  • Tricep skull crushers: 6 sets of 8 reps
  • Tricep pushdowns: 3 sets of 15 reps

Have you had any exceptional results (in competitions or otherwise) in the last few years? Let us know what they are!
