PLAYING IN FRANCE
She has served as captain of the Scotland rugby sevens and rugby union [15-a-side] teams, and believes playing for French Top Eight team Lille Metropole Rugby Club Villeneuvois in 2017/18 further enhanced her leadership skills. "Going to France and playing rugby was a great experience. Completely being out my comfort zone on and off the pitch with the language barrier and everything else definitely made me a more robust player in terms of getting and giving feedback and stuff like that. It's definitely helped in terms of captaincy and leadership." (scotsman.com, 04 Nov 2018; offsideline.com, 24 Aug 2017; espn.co.uk, 24 Aug 2017)
