PROMOTING THE SPORT
She is ambitious about promoting women's Para powerlifting. "Female athletes are underrepresented in my sport. It will enhance the profile of athletes with different disabilities as I am not a wheelchair user. There's increased importance placed on the role of weight training in health, fitness and weight management and I can be a positive role model. I'm outgoing, chatty and keen to promote my sport."
