I've just finished my first year studying Sport and Exercise Science at the University of Birmingham.
I enjoy watching most sports, especially major events such as the Olympics Games or World Cup events, but I really prefer taking part in the action. As well as athletics, I also used to play netball and cricket at county level.

 
 
 
On OCWK...

Being part of ‘On Camp with Kelly’ is a fantastic opportunity which provides us with experiences that I thought I would never get. I think it will help me become a better athlete by improving my understanding of what it takes to reach your potential, and by inspiring me to give my running more than I think I am already capable of.

I think Kelly is doing a fantastic job with ‘On Camp with Kelly’. She is not only a brilliant mentor, but she is such a friendly, genuine and down-to-earth person who is really willing to pass on her valuable knowledge and experience. After reading her autobiography it made me realise what a tough time she has been through, yet she came through it all and achieved her ultimate ambition twice. She has great belief in our potential which is very motivating.

On Athletics...

I have always loved running, it's a way of relaxing and relieving stress. It's important to me because I dedicate so much time to it, because I love racing and know I need to work hard and be committed to achieve my ambitions.

Watching Kelly win her Olympic golds after all her injuries was a big inspiration for me. She proved that British athletes can be the best! I'm also inspired to do well for all my family and friends. My mum supports me so much and I couldn't do it without her.

I am motivated by my ambitions, and having an aim to try and achieve each year to remain focused when things get difficult. The exhilarating feeling of racing well and satisfaction of seeing the results of your hard work is also very motivating. By London 2012 - I will be gutted if I have to watch!
