Past employment:

Working background:

After my retirement as a Gymnast, I wanted to stay closely involved in the sport and fitness industry. Even though Admin currently plays a role in my line of work, from a young age I wanted to expand on my understanding of sports medicine which I did so by obtaining a degree in Sport and exercise Rehabilitation. During my studies at university, I obtained a level 4 qualification in Sports massage and had the great pleasure of volunteering for the London Marathon and Saracens rugby. Years later, I have continued to further my skills and knowledge by working as a sports massage therapist in my previous employment in a clinical based environment.

After the 2012 Olympics, I took on the role of a gymnastics coach. I hope to continue to pass on my knowledge and experience to the next generation of gymnasts.
