Who is your female role model in sport?
My female role model in sport is Beth Tweddle who is a retired Olympic British gymnast. This is because she has shown determination the whole way through her career and proven just how important consistency and perseverance is to you and your sport.
Why did you want to join the Fit for Girls programme?
I wanted to join this programme as I wanted to be able to help others who either have a passion for sport and want to continue their journey or re-inspire those who have lost their passion.
What do you want to achieve as a Fit for Girls Tutor?
I would like to feel as though I have made a difference in someone else’s life the way others have impacted upon mine, in a way that is positive for both the participant and their role within sport.
Your message to girls wanting to get involved in sport:
I believe it’s important they know it’s never too late to get involved with sports or physical activity, and not to let other people’s views or option decide how they live their life.
