What sport are you involved in and what is it that you love about it?
I currently play hockey and take part in athletics and triathlon as well. I love them because I’m always doing something different with different friends.
What motivated you to be part of the Young People’s Sport Panel?
I wanted to join the panel because I am very passionate about sport and I want to make sure everyone in Scotland has access to the amazing opportunities sport can provide.
How do you think sport can help support young people in Scotland?
I think sport can support young people with their mental health, particularly stress and can support young people to meet new people and make friends.
Is there a role model who inspires you? What is it about them that you admire?
One of my role models is Jolien Boumkwo, a German shot putter who competed in the hurdles (a very technical event she hadn’t trained in ) so that her team wouldn’t get disqualified. Her selflessness and bravery are very inspiring.
