Your tip for the top: Don’t let your body beat you!
First international / ‘big time’ call-up: Aged 17 for European Champs in Wales (2010)
How do you feel when you know you are representing your team / country? Extremely proud and honoured
How and why did you get involved in your sport? I first got involved in primary 5, when I started training with my primary school team. When I was young I liked to try a mix of different sports and netball was on offer in my school so I thought I’d give it a shot.
What is your favourite moment in the history of sport? Too many to pick
Who has been the biggest influence on your sporting career? Every coach I have worked with, from primary school right through to national, have given me their own snippets of advice over the years, making me the player I am today. If I had to pick one person though, it would be Lindsay Meighan (ex-Scotland captain)
Any family connections to sport? none
Who has been your toughest opponent and why? My team mates. They push me week in, week out to make me push my boundaries and be the best I can be.
