NATIONAL RECOMMENDATION
During her sophomore year at Syracuse University in New York State, United States of America, she was encouraged to try out for the Great Britain rowing squad after her university coach noticed her potential during training. "My Syracuse University coach actually got into contact with Peter Sheppard [national U23 coach] in my second year of university, after I pulled a semi-decent 2k. Trialling for the U23 GB Team had always been in the back of my mind but I wasn't sure how I would go about it after I decided to go to university in the US. I did a couple of years of U23 racing and then decided the senior team was something I wanted to try and go for. I came back to join the senior team after I graduated in 2017."
