"I was always an active child growing up - involved in every sport and club you can imagine. Every night, I was involved in something, and looking back, it was the perfect way to find my niche in life. Try as many things as possible until you find your feet and roll with it!" (nurokor.co.uk, 04 May 2020)

General Interest

General
LATE SELECTION
She was a late call-up to compete at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo after fellow British athlete Laura Muir decided to withdraw from the 800m to focus on the 1500m. (britishathletics.org.uk, 08 Jul 2021)

FOCUS ON ATHLETICS
After graduating from university she trained as a police officer and served two years in the force before concentrating on athletics. "I came to a crossroads in 2017 when I made the decision to pursue my athletics dreams and aspirations. My thought process was that I can always pick work up when athletics has finished, but until then, I have many more goals and dreams to fulfil." (nurokor.co.uk, 04 May 2020; yorkshirepost.co.uk, 18 Jan 2020)

OTHER ACTIVITIES
She is an ambassador for Action For Sport, a charity dedicated to the removal of poverty as a barrier to disadvantaged children and young people participating in sport. (Instagram profile, 22 Jul 2021)
