Personal
Lefroy was born on 18 June 1981. At the age of eleven years, she was diagnosed with Stargart macular dystrophy. This has led to a gradual deterioration of central sight and left her with peripheral vision only.[2][3] She attended St Hilda's Anglican School for Girls.[4] She has a Masters in Applied (Clinical) Psychology from Murdoch University after completing an Arts Degree and an Undergraduate in Psychology. She has a clinical psychology practice in Perth, Australia.
Career
Lefroy rowed during her high school years.[5] In early 2016, she was invited to trial Australian Para-Rowing LTA Mixed trials.[6] She combined with Brock Ingram, Jeremy McGrath, Kathleen Murdoch and coxswain Jo Burnand in the Legs, Trunk and Arms Mixed Coxed Four ( LTAMix4+) to win the Final Paralympic Qualification Regatta in April 2016.[7] At the 2016 Rio Paralympics, Lefroy was a member of the LTA Mixed Coxed Four that finished first in the LTAMix4+ B Final.[8]
In 2016, she is a Western Australian Institute of Sport scholarship holder.[6]
