My experiences of working within and across performance, talent, and grassroots environments continue to provoke my curiosity in seeking to explore what works for who in what context and why. I am interested in individuals and wider organisational stories, their perceptions of their environment, how these influence decisions made, how those choices impact upon mindset and performance, and utilising these insights to explore avenues towards enhancing their practice. It is an approach I have carried into my own development, seeking to use academia, qualifications, and experience to inform my coaching practice, programme management, strategic planning and relationship building. I have held various roles across several professional football clubs working with youth and senior players during my coaching career as well as being Team Manager with three England para football squads, medaling with each across regional, European and World Championships, and including the qualification campaign for the Paralympics GB 7-aside team for 2016 Paralympic Games. Currently I work for Arsenal Women FC as their Youth Development Phase Lead and Under 16 Head Coach and I am keen to connect with and support those willing to share experiences of working in and outside of sport.

Listed skills include Disability, Sports, Sports Development, Sports Management, and 20 others.
