Biography
Whitelock was born in Palmerston North, and is of Rangitāne descent.[3] She married Crusaders rugby player George Whitelock in December 2013.[4]
Whitelock took up hockey at the age of seven, as her school only played hockey, not her preferred sport, netball.[2]
In the 2020 Queen's Birthday Honours, Whitelock was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to hockey.[5]
