I fell in love with netball at junior school and was lucky to attend a senior school where passionate PE teachers helped that love grow. Starting as a Goal Attack, I went on to represent my school, local club, and Bucks County. Later, I found my natural position at Centre—where energy, speed, and leadership came together.

After stepping back to have my daughter, I was thrilled when she discovered her own passion for netball. That brought me back to the game as a coach. I began as a team manager, completed my IO umpiring course, earned my Level 1 and, more recently, my Level 2 coaching qualification.

Always eager to learn, I joined fellow Birdies coaches at the Elite Training Academy—supporting players and gaining fresh coaching insights. My coaching philosophy is simple: “You get out what you put in. Work hard, give 100%, and enjoy the game.” I focus on developing individuals while instilling teamwork, confidence, and resilience.

Though coaching is my passion, I’ll admit—I’m getting itchy feet. If my body allows, you might just see me back on court!

Fun Fact: I once trekked and canoed through the Amazon rainforest to raise money for the National Deaf Children’s Society.
