Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
My best memory was enjoying my first British Nationals at 13 years old and winning a gold in 1500 free and making the final at 200m fly on the same day. I also really enjoyed the prep for the event as it was an opportunity to meet and swim with people from all across the county as a team.
Goals:
To be as successful in the pool as I can be and get a great job in the future.
Anything else we should know?
I would love the opportunity to study in America and be a part of a college team.
