3. Who was your biggest sporting inspiration growing up?
I wouldn’t really say I had a sporting inspiration growing up but I did think Paula Creamer was pretty cool, she is a golfer which is one of the sports I played in my childhood.

4. What is the best thing about competing in Weightlifting?
I would say the best thing about competing in weightlifting is the ability to showcase the grit and determination you’ve put into each block of training and the feeling of relief when all your hard work shows and pays off in good results.

5. What motivates you to train and compete at the highest level?
I strive to be the best and the idea that if I put in the work continuously I am capable of incredible things many don’t get the opportunity to experience.

6. What advice would you give to someone looking to take up Weightlifting seriously?
Find a good coach, surround yourself with people that motivate you and support your goals but most importantly fall in love with the process. Weightlifting can be both demoralising and rewarding so learning to push through bad times will bring you out on the bright side!

7. If you could be a professional athlete in any other sport, which sport would it be and why?
Golf 100%, I love that there’s little margin for error and anything could happen, its also an interest I share with my dad so has a sense of family and home to it.

8. Describe your perfect weekend.
I think being an athlete at such a high level means its important to balance life. I love a brunch and a long walk in the countryside and even a nice dinner and a drink, life is all about moderation and by finding that balance I have become so much happier!
