Accomplishments
Represented the county in women's football from the age of 12 to 24 years of age. Played for the county academy youth center of excellence and continued to then play elite level football for Plymouth Argyle. I also played University BUCS football and futsal through my Degrees at Marjion's and Plymouth University. I had trials to go further however an injury finished my career early so I continued my footballing passion by coaching and teaching.
During my university studies I was the video analysts for Plymouth Raiders whereby I volunteered through a University partnership with the club to gain analyst experience.
