Hobbies

Rowing doesn’t really give me much free time however, on the rare occurrence of a day off, I enjoy cycling and going to the cinema with friends.


Career Aspirations

My aim is to represent GB at the highest level possible at Junior, U23 and Senior levels and also to represent GB at the Olympic Games.


Greatest Rowing Moment

The greatest moment for me would have to be gaining selection for the Scotland HIR team in 2013 to do the junior single at the age of fifteen in Nottingham. I may not have won but I exceeded my own expectations.


Favourite Post Race Food

The most unhealthy of them all – a large 20 nugs meal with a coke from McDonalds. An easy 1500 calories, even for me!


Favourite TV Programme

Binge watching my way through the whole of Prison Break in under a week left me with no more episodes of my favourite programme, although Top Gear is also pretty good and worth a watch.


Most people don't know......

I can speak a bit of Russian.
