COXSWAIN MENTORING
She runs a coxswain mentoring group on social media, where she mentors and gives advice to aspiring coxswains and coaches. "It's a free, safe space to be able to talk about coxing and issues or comments and positivity to keep these coxes in the sport. In addition to that I do run coxing workshops, certainly in the time of the COVID shutdown recently it was a great time to provide education, being able to get small groups online on how to be a better coxswain or what is the coxswain's role. I often get people saying, 'Great workshop, can we come out with you on a session?' So I'm available to provide that." (rowing.chat, 12 Oct 2020)
