Who has been most influential in helping you get to your current level?
Gary Kinghorn has always helped me to be the best I can be, whilst also making sure I loved the sport.He’s the biggest reason
I’ve got as far as I have, but I can’t forget several others who have coached me along the way: Steve Nicolson, Lloyd Brown, Olly Logan, Songi Woo, and mostrecently Naomi Folkard. I’ve also been lucky enough
to work with some really great support staff at Lilleshall, who have really helped me to develop as an athlete and as a person.
Who is your most admired archer?
Within the UK, I’ll always look up to Amy Oliver and Naomi Folkard for their achievements in field. Also Lisa Unruh and Kang Chae Young.
What advice can you give to up and coming new archers?
Get a good coach, love what you do, enjoy working hard, and embrace every opportunity archery gives to you.
