I have just finished my first year at Loughborough University studying for a Geography Degree. After graduating I would like to work for an organisation helping with development, aid and relief from disaster - with the charity I support being ActionAid.

During primary and secondary school I played all the sports that were available to me - rounders, tennis, swimming, netball and hockey at school or club level, and also played hockey for Devon. I had to give these sports up to focus on my athletics, especially after one particular incident during a hockey game my coach made me promise never to play hockey again!
 
 
 
On OCWK...

I feel very privileged to be chosen to be part of 'On Camp with Kelly' and believe it will help me develop into a more experienced performer through Kelly’s mentoring and knowledge. I really respect Kelly as a role model and inspiration not only to myself and other serious minded athletes, but also to young people considering involving themselves in sport. Her determination to persevere and overcome injury, and never quitting her goals and aspirations is highly inspiring.

On Athletics...

I love the freedom of running, I was always too limited in other sports such as netball. I love the natural adrenaline rush after racing well, the morale among training friends, the way you feel after a hard but successful training session, whatever the weather.

I love to be competitive, and running has given me a chance to do so at a national level. Unlike games sports, athletics gives you a chance to compete with yourself through setting personal bests - you can always go faster, and I love that challenge. To succeed at what I do is in return for all the effort that not only I put in but also for the support of my family, friends and coach that surround me… and now Kelly!
