My passions
My main passion in life is my family and my dogs and cat, I believe in a balanced approach to training and family life as this can often be overlooked.
I play rugby to a high level with Hillhead Jordan hill in Glasgow recently reaching the final at Murray field as well as for England Deaf Women’s 7’s and 15XV. I also competitively weightlift and came 2nd at Welsh Championships in 2017, since my knee surgery I am now building back up to competition numbers and hope to be back on the platform early next year.
I also work for the NHS as physiotherapy support working with additional needs children carrying out strengthening and rehabilitation work as well as hydrotherapy. I am studying Physiotherapy next year to fulfil a long-held ambition of mine to officially qualify.
