REASON FOR TAKING UP THE SPORT
I competed across multiple disciplines as a junior including freestyle, which was the discipline that got me into canoeing in the first place. In 2017 I took a break from canoeing to pursue music. After several bands I wanted to get back into competitive sport and it seemed like the best way to get back into it was to go back to the beginning !
