About Me:
As a former international 400m hurdler, I recently graduated from Loughborough University. I used my unfortunate experiences to create The Athlete Place, an online platform supporting aspiring athletes and their parents. Having experienced athlete burnout, been a victim of safeguarding misconduct, and having had glandular fever in 2022, I am no longer competing. Instead, I am involved in other ways, such as pace-making our heptathletes Abi Pawlett, Niamh Emerson, and Katarina Johnson-Thompson.
My favourite thing about athletics:
The people. Athletics has an incredible community, but it’s time we leverage this and unite to make positive change and innovation.
Areas of interest:
- Junior to senior transition
- Parental guidance and education
- Athlete wellbeing
- Overall marketing of athletics.
Areas of experience:
- Founder of The Athlete Place
- Former Track Captain of Loughborough Students Athletics Club
- Understanding of sports marketing and promotion
