When I first started cheerleading, I was 8 years old and was super excited to try out something new. 5 years in, and I am loving every second of it. In each session I learn something new and exciting, practice my routine and prepare for cheer competitions. With all the support from my friends, family and coaches, I am pushing myself to my limits and beyond. I have been awarded most improved tumbler and most improved base over the past two seasons. Some of the things I can do now, I never dreamed were possible before which is why I wanted to be a positive part of someone else's cheer journey. I had to take a cheerleading qualification and passed so I am now able to coach to a Level 1. For the last year and a half, I have had the opportunity to coach my own team, Claws, which is full of young, enthusiastic children from ages 5 - 6. They are a joy to teach, and I am so grateful that I get to spread my love for cheerleading to younger children who don't fully understand their potential yet. I am committed to coaching because I want to make a difference. I want to help others push themselves to do things they didn't think were possible and see the spark in them grow. I hope to continue my own learning and will complete more coaching qualifications as soon as I'm old enough to enable to me to continue pushing those around me too. 

I started playing netball regularly when I was just 9 years old. I love the teamwork element of the game and how each player can bring different strengths. I play in the centre court and my preferred position is WD, where I help transition the ball from defence to attack. 

I’ve been with my current netball club Clan for 3 years and our team successfully qualified to play at a Regional level. England Netball has 9 regions and we play in the South region which covers Buckinghamshire Berkshire Oxfordshire Sussex and Hampshire, as well as Guernsey and the Isle of Wight. Being part of a Regional netball team involves me training for 6.5 hours per week, plus I attend matches on a weekend where we have to travel all around the South region from Brighton to Reading to Milton Keynes. 

I have also started a journey on the Netball Performance Super League Pathway, and have a place at the London Pulse satellite hub in High Wycombe. My dream would be to one day play professionally for a team in the Netball Super League (NSL) or in the England Roses squad.
