Interview

Give us 5 words that best describe you as an athlete:

dedicated, focused, ambitious, dynamic, diligent

Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:

The best memory I have in my golf career so far is winning the National Ladies Championship earlier this year. Having led my semi-final against a much more experienced opponent for 16 holes, I missed two putts for the match and found myself going to extra holes. I was proud that I managed to recompose myself and win with a birdie on the first extra hole to secure a place in the final. That gave me great confidence going into the final later that afternoon where I played some of my best golf to win the match.

Goals:

I would like to play collegiate golf on a successful team. Later on in the future, I would love to represent the UK in the Curtis Cup, qualify for the Augusta National Women’s Amateur and become and LPGA professional.

Anything else we should know?

I am very athletic and have played netball at club level since I was 11. I was also selected to represent my county for two years from the age of 14.
