Biography:

I've always loved swimming, and dreamed of competing at the Deaflympics since six years old, inspired by the 2009 Tapeii Deaflympics.

My first international competition was the European Deaf Swimming Championships in 2018 where I came 5th in 200m Butterfly.

I competed at the World Deaf Swimming Championships in 2023, despite being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes 3 months before the competition. I persevered with my training and medical management and achieved two personal bests and a final at the Worlds.

In the past year, I've changed swimming clubs, due to graduating university, and I'm proud that my training is going incredibly well, hitting personal bests recently. I am very grateful to the support of my new club and coaches.
