Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
Last year when I gained entry to the English Schools National Finals I had no expectations going into the event as I had only been training with my coach for a couple of months and I was a year young still. When I placed 4th to my surprise, I knew that I had potential to see some significant progress in years to come and it gave me the focus to take this event seriously. I view it as the start of the journey I am taking to become the athlete I desire to be.
Goals:
I want to compete at the highest international level!
Anything else we should know?
I am also a keen singer. I have led three musicals whilst at school playing Javert (Les Mis), Billy Flynne (Chicago), and Captain Von Trapp (Sound of Music). I have a grade 8 distinction in singing. I was also Deputy Head of School so I have done a reasonable amount of leadership related exercises.
