Growing up with dyslexia, initially, I found it very hard to be at school. When I began participating in sports clubs and opportunities within and outside of school, this changed. I was able to form positive relationships with others, making school a much easier place to be. I want to make sure everyone else is given the same opportunity to experience the transformative effects of sport. 

Previously, I have worked as a Court of Protection paralegal at a national law firm. Within my role, I supported many disabled individuals' who lacked legal capacity to make decisions for themselves. I now teach PE in primary school's across Bristol and work part-time as an outdoor activity instructor. 

I really enjoy sport! Currently, I am training for a half ironman distance triathlon and part of a triathlon and cycling club. I have also competed in trampolining competitions and played in many football and rugby teams.

"I've joined the Access Sport Youth Board to develop my skills in helping to deliver and promote inclusive sporting sessions. I also want to meaningful contribute to making sport more accessible and use my background in law to investigate any legislative changes needed to achieve this goal."
