I was born missing my left arm.And while there really wasn't anything I couldn't do,it felt like an
obvious disadvantage in a world desiring perfection.In 1986,at 18 months,I was fitted with a prosthetic
(device,a decision made by my parents so that I would mix in and develop"normally".
I spent my entire childhood trying to fit in.I did just about anything to ease the special pain of the
stares and hurtful jokes from my classmates.I wore long sleeves and did whatever I needed to do to
become invisible.By the time I was 8 years old,I had no self-confidence,and the hand I was wearing
was making it harder and harder for me to fit in.So I decided I was better off without one.I didn't need
anyone to fix me,because I wasn't broken.
One of the most obvious ways for me to prove that I wasn't going to be limited by my disability was
through movement.I developed a love for sports,in particular swimming.I felt free and excited when I
powered through the water.I was selected to join my first Australian swimming team at age 13,and I
successfully represented my country for eight years.I realized I'd made a name for myself because of
my disability-not in spite of it.
I taught myself how to be comfortable in a society filled with insecurities.So when I was first
contacted in 2021 by Simon Pollard,whose company Covvi was on a mission to create the world's most
advanced bionic()hand,I was a bit surprised.He asked me to try the hand and,if I was
comfortable with the idea,to become a patient advocate.Through sharing my jourey,I'm able to reach
thousands of other people who would benefit from its extraordinary capabilities.That's why I wear a
bionic hand-not because I'm broken,but because I have an opportunity to enhance the human
capabilities that already exist.
