The words I live by are… (motivational quote)
Where there is a will there is a way.
What motivated you to apply for the EYOA programme?
I believe that sport has the power to teach so many positive values and useful skills and that these can be instilled from a young age in a fun and exciting way. This is something I want to continue to promote through being an EYOA, to help support the growth and development next generation of athletes and Olympians.

I would like to continue working in sport and in events, working with athletes and making sure that everyone can enjoy themselves through participating or watching sport. In many ways, I am already in my dream job!
What are your expectations of being an EYOA?
I am looking forward to using my creative and innovative side to find new ways in which we can share the Olympic Values and power of sport. I want to not only create a fun experience for the athletes but also make many friends and have fun myself. I am excited to learn about other cultures and hear everyone else’s stories.
What does Olympism mean to you?
Olympism means upholding the Olympic values of excellence, friendship and respect every day and in all areas of life. It is putting your best foot forward in everything that you do, making the most out of every opportunity and helping others do the same.
