Netball career

During the early stages of her career, Philip was described as the new Sharelle McMahon (the former Diamonds captain) because of her agility in the circle, vertical leap and accurate eye.[4] Her career began in the seaside town of Anglesea in Victoria for the Bellarine Netball Association when she was coached by her mother. She was regularly chosen for most representative teams for the area. More recently she was part of the successful Commonwealth Games squad who brought home the gold medal from Glasgow 2014.[5][6][7][8] She was selected in the Australian Diamonds squad for the 2018/19 international season.[9] She ended her professional netball career in October 2020, as a participant of the Melbourne Vixens team that won their third premiership.[10]

Personal life

A devout Christian, she has stated that her faith is crucial to her approach to life. She has been married to Joshi Philip since 22 February 2015.[11][12]
