THE BEGINNING

So, where to even begin! Let’s start with a brief introduction! I turned 26 on the November the 8th this year, and ever since I could walk, I’ve been sporty. Sports ranging from athletics, hockey to playing football, you name it, I’ve done it! During my time at Gloucestershire university, I began my journey into powerlifting, competing for team GB within the British Powerlifting Union in the 60kg category, placing 1st in the majority of my competitions (can’t remember the exact ones as it’s been a while!). From powerlifting I then moved across to bodybuilding, meeting my current coach Tom Hames of Evolution training, of whom I have now been with for 7 years. We decided to prep for the PCA London show in 2018, competing in the category Trained Figure. I placed 1st in my class, going on to take the overall win! Being a complete newbie to the competing side of things, I was beyond blown away with this result, and the fire had officially been lit! From there, I decided to take part in the PCA British, placing 3rd against some absolutely amazing woman! Once the emotions and excitement had died down, I then decided to take a long offseason (around 2 -3 years) to move up into woman’s physique, which was always the dream of mine, especially after seeing Dana Lynn Bailey win Ms Olympia in 2013. 

2021

After a very productive offseason, 2021 then came around and it was time to get back on stage! Prep went incredibly smooth this year and I was beyond happy with the package me and Tom brought, and the results showed this. My first show of this year was the 2Bros La Familia classic, where I won my class and then went onto win the overall, allowing me to qualify for the British championships in 4 weeks. It was the British where my dream came true! Winning my class and then going on to win the overall, becoming British Champion and receiving my IFBB pro status within the WPD! Nothing can even come close to how this felt. When you’ve been eating, sleeping, and training with the want of becoming a professional, it’s an absolutely incredible feeling. Ever since I was young, bodybuilding was something that saved me. I unfortunately lost my mother when I was around the age of ten, she too was a bodybuilder/into bodybuilding. Because of this, I spiralled into a dark patch of mental health, it was then when lifting weights and bodybuilding saved my life. 14 years later and all the dark days, and troubled thoughts powered me to become an IFBB Pro in a sport I aim to make huge waves in. 

2022


Fast forward to 2022 where I made my pro debut in Reno, Nevada at the Pro Legions sports festival where I placed 2nd up against 21 amazing woman from all over the world, this placing also makes me the highest placed WPD athlete from the UK, which is mad! Since then, I have been in an offseason working on areas that I feel I need to bring up. Feedback after legions was more density from the rear so that’s exactly what I’ve made a priority this year. I start prep for the 2023 season on the 29th of April in preparation for Texas on the 19th of August. I aim to qualify for the Olympia this year, but I will be taking it one show at a time!

I am beyond excited to get back on stage again and cannot wait to show an even better package! Onwards we go!
