How did you get involved in sport or what would you like to get involved with?
I got involved with sports when I was younger and my mum put me into swimming lessons so that
I knew how to swim and I’ve swam ever since.

What motivated you to join the Young Person’s Sport panel?
As soon as I saw that the Young Person’s Sports Panel helped promote disability
sport I had motivation to join the panel.

If you could change anything, what would you change to improve disability
sport?
One thing that I would like to change to improve disability sport is that I would like to
help more people find out about it.

What are your sporting (or other) highlights?
My sporting highlights range from swimming my first ever length of a pool to getting my first ever national medal in July 2023 at the Scottish National Open Championships.

What are your goals and aspirations?
My other goals and aspirations are to one day make Team GB or Team Scotland at world championships/paralympics/commenwealth games etc.

What is your best achievement, sporting or otherwise?
My best achievement in sporting I would say is my getting a silver medal in the 50m free at the Scottish National Open Championships in July 2023.

Is there a role model that inspires you and why?
I don’t really have one role model because a lot of different people inspire me in a number of different ways.
