Give us 5 words that best describe you as an athlete:
competitive, passionate, dedicated, ambitious, hard-working
Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
My best golfing memory was in the 2019 Junior European Open after making the cut with decent scores and lying in 26th place at that stage to then play the final round shooting 74 (level par) and finishing in 14th place! That final score was the 2nd lowest score of the tournament out of the rest of the other 45 girls!
Goals:
My goals are to play for England, turn professional and play on both the LPGA and LET tours. I would then also like to play in the Solheim Cup!
Anything else we should know?
Whilst I am individually competitive in my golf, I am also a great team player and I love being part of my Hampshire Girls and England Regional Teams!
