I began with the equestrian sport at the age of five. What started as an early passion grew into competing internationally, which showed me the demands of sport early on — discipline, pressure, comparison, and the constant desire to improve. Alongside show-jumping, I also pursued track and field during my school years, which broadened my experiences. I was highly motivated, but often felt frustrated by a lack of the right tools to improve mentally. Like many athletes, I experienced setbacks, self-doubt, and the emotional highs and lows that come with competition.

When I discovered sports psychology, it felt like a missing piece finally clicked into place. The more I learned, the clearer it became that this was what I wanted to pursue. Why? It clarified something I had always felt — that what makes sport and performance special goes beyond physical ability or talent, but lies in belief, identity, connection, and the environment around you. I became drawn to the impact that the right guidance and support can have — how it can help someone see their potential more clearly and move toward and beyond what they thought was possible. I look at sport as a powerful platform for fulfillment and personal growth.

In pursuit of this field, rugby has captured my heart. Working closely with rugby players and coaches has allowed me to design and deliver practical mental skills training within real performance environments. Being embedded in such clubs has sparked and solidified my desire to continue contributing to team culture, and building healthy & high-performing environments that are focused on all-rounded development.

Outside of my professional work, the boxing gym has become my second home!
