I joined LYR in September 2021. Beginning my career in sport in 2015, studying Sports Coaching at Leeds Beckett University, I was exposed to a diverse range of sporting disciplines. Initially, my goal was to enter the world of elite sport, working in environments such as the English Institute of Sport. My ambitions changed however, during a summer spent coaching canoeing as a camp counsellor for children with behavioural and emotional issues in Minnesota.

I believe in the transformative power sport wields on young people’s lives; Something my role as Alternative Provision Lead at London Youth Rowing allows me to do. I have learned a lot about rowing and seen first-hand the enormous impact it has had on my groups. I enjoy the new challenges and successes every day brings whilst working with the young people at LYR.
