Affiliations

  • I am a member of a local Cheerleading club called ASCD, where I have been a competitive athlete for 9 years and also a volunteer coach since 2020. I very much enjoy being part of the team and have been captain for 3 years demonstrating responsibility and leadership. In September 2022 I auditioned for the Scotland Cheer Team and was successful in gaining a place for the World Championships in April 2023. This meant training in Glasgow every 2 weeks and a huge amount of fundraising. I then went on to join the Senior Team and will compete for Scotland at my third World Championships, April 2025.
  • I am a very keen baker, and enjoy making celebration cakes for friends and family.
  • I am creative and enjoy Art & Photography in my spare time. I also enjoy keeping fit and the outdoors.
