Philosophy:

"There aren't that many sports where you are able to compete against everyone, from men, to women and juniors. You can find out just what you are capable of. Don't stick to one discipline Try lots and find which ones make you happiest." (clay-shooting.com, 11 Jul 2019)

"I wanted to make the most of the funding I was offered from UK Sport through British Shooting, and the career break has allowed me to do that. I have been able to train more and attend more overseas competitions." (Twitter profile, 16 Jan 2021; LinkedIn profile, 01 Jan 2019)
