Author Bio

Chloe Dalton is the founder of The [Female] Athlete Project and is one of Australia's few triple sport elite athletes. After playing basketball in the WNBL with the Sydney Uni Flames, Chloe transitioned to rugby, where she debuted for the Australian Rugby 7s team in 2014. At the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics, Dalton won gold with the Australian Rugby 7s team and was awarded an Order of Australia Medal for Service to Sport. She was also recognised as Australia's top Rugby 7s player in 2017, winning the Shawn Mackay Medal. Chloe then crossed codes again to Aussie Rules, making her debut in 2019 for Carlton in the AFLW. She was recently named Runner-Up in the Carlton Best and Fairest Awards for the 2020 AFLW season. Chloe currently plays AFLW for the GWS Giants.


Kim Siew is an illustrator and mural artist who lives and works on Gadigal Land. Although not an athlete, she does love to scale large walls with a brush in hand to paint her drawings onto grey buildings around the city. She has illustrated several books and art games and is currently experimenting with short-form comics. When not drawing, you will find her wandering laneways for inspiration with her loyal Jack Russell cross, Alfie, reading a graphic novel on a park bench with a croissant in hand, or channelling her excess energy through boxing (where she is quite content to sit at sparring level).
