BIOGRAPHY

Baker’s physical dominance coupled with her experience as an established member of the Black Ferns Sevens squad, makes her devastating on the field and invaluable in pressure situations.

She debuted for Wellington at 16-years old, was a former Hurricanes Secondary School player and played in the team’s first tournament win at the Oceania Sevens.

Baker also has 13 caps for Black Ferns, making her debut in 2011 and before becoming a full time sevens player she taught maths at Hamilton Girls’ High School.
