Early life[]
Prespakis is the daughter of Damien and Jody.[1] Her mother is an Indigenous Australian from the Djadjawurrung tribe.[2] Prespakis has three siblings: twins Annalea and Madison, and Jimmy.[1] Older sister Madison currently plays for Carlton.
She played junior football with the boys in Romsey, crossing to Sunbury to play in the under-18 girls' competition.[3] Picked up by the Calder Cannons development program, she took out the competition's best and fairest in 2019. Prespakis won her second best and fairest award in 2021, scoring seven best-on-ground votes in just nine appearances for the Cannons.[4]
