D.O.B. 07.05.2003
OVERVIEW
My taekwondo journey began at the age of six in an after school activity taekwondo session. I fell in love with the sport and my potential was recognised quite quickly. I then progressed to a club setting, Premier Taekwondo in Huddersfield, where I trained and began to compete on the UK circuit.
I then progressed to a high performance club, Quest Taekwondo in Penistone, where I continued to compete in the UK but also Internationally. I was, soon after selected for the GB Development Programme based in Manchester where I would train once a week. I have had tremendous success representing Quest Taekwondo and Great Britain both in the UK and Internationally which I will illustrate below. I was then at the age of 16 invited on to the World Class Performance Programme, I now live at the academy in Manchester and follow a full time training programme.
My ultimate goal in the sport is Senior World and European titles, followed by my ultimate goal of an Olympic Gold at Paris 2024.
