She represented Great Britain in heptathlon at the 2012 World Junior Championships in Barcelona, Spain. (SportsDeskOnline, 01 Jul 2021)

She took up the sport in 2013. (theguardian.com, 10 Oct 2015)

Her former heptathlon coach Toni Minichiello noticed how she produced high levels of power while training on stationary bikes and would often beat British heptathlete Jessica Ennis-Hill on the bike when they competed against each other in training. He then notified former British Cycling coach Matt Parker of her capabilities, and Parker encouraged her to take up the sport. (theguardian.com, 10 Oct 2015)
