I am currently in year 13 studying for my A Levels in Geogaphy, Psychology, English Language and Literature and Art. This is pretty time consuming - especially Art - but I always, somehow, manage to have some spare time. When I'm not training or working, I like to listen to my music and I hope to go a festival of some sort this summer after my track season. I also like going to the beach, this normally happens in the summer although the odd winter trip is a must! To add to this, I like going on random cycle trips with my running friends where we tour around the beaches of Devon and Cornwall!

From the age of 3-16, I did ballet, tap and modern dance lessons. I also got selected for the South West cycling squad but I didn’t take it up as I preferred athletics. I am a Liverpool football fan as my dad is from there, although their matches are too far away to go and watch.

I was really pleased to be selected for ‘On Camp with Kelly’ and have had many positive experiences from the scheme so far. The camps have been hard work, but also extremely enjoyable. Kelly is such a motivational person which is so inspiring.

On Athletics...

Running enables me to feel a great sense of achievement and I am kept motivated by wanting to achieve my goals. My parents and the COPAC Crew (my training group) are my biggest supporters. I always wear the same hairstyle for racing – plaited around the front.

 
 
   
Music

I like a variety of music. I tend to listen to rock music as well as drum and bass before I race! I also like some mellow music to just chill out and relax to. My favourite band at the moment is MGMT!
