She is yet to play finals with the first grade team but the 21-year-old is daring to dream in 2021.
Tudors had their first win on the weekend, 3-1 against Olympians, and it was also the first time the side had fielded a close to full strength team this season.

Willis said Tudors had a good mix of experience and youth and while she admits to thinking about finals, she's not getting too far ahead of herself.
"I wouldn't say it's a spoken goal but it's in the back of everyone's heads," Willis said of playing finals.
"Particularly with last year, we were so close to getting there but we were pushed out in the final round.
"To get there as a team would be a great achievement."
Sunday's result points to improvement from Tudors, Willis said.
They led 2-0 before Olympians reduced the deficit to one goal in the second half which is when Tudors were really tested.
"In the past we have actually put our heads down if we got to that point but it was good to see the girls keep going and pull through as a united front," Willis said of the recovery to a 3-1 victory.
From here Willis said: "If we can get everyone up to training, I think we'll get some good results."
In the other women's first grade games Flames defeated Waratahs 2-0 while South drew with Services 2-2.
In first grade men's Kiwi Diggers had a 2-1 win over Workies and South United romped home to a 10-0 win over Tudor Wests.
