What are your archery performance highlights?
Being chosen to shoot for England this year at the home nations match, and I was hoping to be ranked in the top 10, but really happy to end the season ranked
3rd.
What are your goals for 2024 and beyond?
With the changes to the ranking system I would like to stay in the top 10, but mainly to enjoy my shooting and have fun representing Quicks Archery.

Who has been most influential in helping you get to your current level?
The archer I admire the most is Phil Adams, this man had such a wealth of knowledge and a willingness to help and advise even
when he's not working, and has been a great help and support to myself and Jeanette when she was shooting.
What advice can you give to up and coming new archers?
The best advice I could give to new archers is to enjoy shooting and set yourself achievable goals, also don't wait for help, ask.
