Start sporting career
She began trampolining at age six. "I used to do Tumble Tots, and in the sports centre my mum ran into someone she used to trampoline with. And then my sister started and I would get on the trampoline at the end of the session."
Reason for taking up the sport
Her mother and her uncle had both been involved in competitive trampoline gymnastics. "I used to just compete in [double] mini but not train [in the discipline]. I'd just go and try it at competition. I just got better at mini and started winning things and just did it more."
Most memorable sporting achievement
Winning gold in the double mini trampoline team event at the 2022 European Championships in Rimini, Italy. (birkenhead.news, 09 Jun 2022; Instagram profile, 08 Jun 2022)
