About Me

I am a dedicated and passionate rower committed to achieving excellence both on and off the water. I have been rowing at City of Bristol Rowing Club in the UK for 4 seasons. Throughout this time I have demonstrated consistent hard work, discipline, strong teamwork and a conscientious approach. I achieved high grades in my GCSEs, demonstrating my ability to balance high-level sport with academic success.

I am now seeking opportunities to continue my athletic and academic journey at a U.S. college, where I can contribute to a competitive rowing program.

Attending the 2025 World Rowing Cup in Lucerne as a spectator last year was a hugely inspiring experience. I met many international teams including the US Men's quad and this reinforced my desire to pursue rowing at the highest level. I am planning to compete in the GB Under-19 trials next season.

Other interests

Guitar – I am an accomplished guitarist having played for 10 years. It has taught me how to improve through practice and has given me something to work on alongside school and rowing.

Music Production – I enjoy music production as a creative outlet alongside my studies and training.

Motorsport – I compete in regional AutoSOLO events and navigate for my dad in Targa rallies. This hobby has helped me develop focus, mechanical knowledge, and a strong appreciation for performance and precision.

Photography – Rowing and Motorsports – Another creative outlet that I enjoy and which has developed my attention to detail.

Duke of Edinburgh Award – I completed Bronze in 2024, and am currently undertaking the Gold Award. Through this, I’ve developed independence, resilience, and teamwork skills.
