Swimmer

Biography:

My entry into swimming was a running joke, as my mother, who is Deaf herself, was afraid I could not hear the shark alarm at the beach in Australia.

So, she put me in swimming classes!

I am a diehard Chelsea FC fan as my whole family is, and also love F1, Mercedes is my team!. Outside the pool & studies my time is mostly taken up with advocacy work. I’m a Trustee for Board Racial Diversity UK, White Ribbon UK & 64 Million Artists, and Youth Advisory Board Member for EY Foundation & Mental Health Innovations. I’m an iWill Movement Ambassador, serving as the National Youth Collaborator for the DCMS National Youth Strategy.
