Favourite sport:

Greatest sporting achievement:
I've thrown myself into most sports from a young age, but netball is a real passion of mine.
I began at my local club Bury YWCA and gradually moved up, representing Greater Manchester County and then onto the North West regional team, Northern Thunder. I was lucky enough to enter the National Talent programme and made the England long squad.
Most recently I have just been selected for the England Indoor Netball team, a faster more exciting version of netball.
Along side this I have always been involved in coaching.
