LIVING IN THE UNITED STATES
She was born in Stockport, England, and moved to the United States of America at age two. Growing up, she and her family returned to Nottinghamshire in England every Christmas and most summers. After attending school and university in the United States of America, she settled in Charlottesville, Virginia. "Wakefield [England] is where I'm based when I'm training for British events, so that's why I joined Wakefield Harriers about four or five years ago [speaking in 2021]. I joined after they changed the rules about being able to compete [in British events]; you had to be part of a club and that's when I joined the Harriers." (yorkshirepost.co.uk, 13 Mar 2021)

FURTHER EDUCATION
After completing a bachelor's degree in public health in 2017, she began studying for a master's degree in public administration at the University of Washington, before transferring to the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater to undertake master's studies in environmental health and safety.
