Bio:
I was first introduced to weightlifting when my coach ran a 6-week taster course at my high school. Having now been lifting for just over 4 years, I've won various medals and British titles, my most recent being British U23s W69 Gold medallist. I've been a qualified Level 1 Weightlifting coach for over 1 year now. Through helping to run weightlifting sessions with the UCL Barbell Club, I've been able to hone my coaching skills, so I plan to complete my level 2 qualification at some point in the not-too-distant future.
