Christie is a 2 x Dusi Canoe Marathon Champion - one of the premier canoe marathons in the world- and a Canoe Marathon Championship bronze medalist.
Currently studying her honours in psychology, Christie see's the importance of the mental aspects of sport and how important it is to train both the mind and body. I chatted to her about the importance of being able to balance life, academics and sport all at the same time - as well as the struggles she faces in a poorly funded sport.
