Give us 5 words that best describe you as an athlete:
Hard-working, resilient, friendly, supportive, focused
Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
Probably my 200 back at English nationals 2023. It was my coaches last season and he told me to give him one last win. I was going in quite low, however I came out with a massive PB and a gold medal! It felt like all of the hard work I had put in that year really paid off for both me and my coach.
Goals:
My main goal is to reach the highest level competition I can make. For the 2026 season, my main goal is to make the April British Championships in London. In 2025 I managed to make it and final in the 50 back so I’m hoping I can get more races this year.
Anything else we should know?
My athletic lifestyle is supported by my job as a lifeguard at a local leisure centre. I value the teamwork I experience there and the competitions like the Arena League. These activities help me maintain a balanced routine of work swimming and dry land training.
