I joined Westbourne House in January 2021 which will forever be a memorable start to a new school. I look forward to continuing the great success of girls’ sport at Westbourne House and helping to facilitate some fantastic sporting opportunities for the pupils in a variety of sports. 

At a young age I was a strong dancer and earned a place with The Royal Ballets advance project. At university I was part of the dance company ‘Fidget’. I have also played Rugby at university level and rowed competitively. Although I have tried a wide variety of sports my specialism is in netball, which I have played competitively since the age of 9. I am a qualified netball umpire and I coach the University of Sussex netball teams. 

I truly believe there is a sport for everyone and I will endeavour to guide the children at Westbourne House to find something they enjoy and help them create positive and happy memories of sport during these formative school years.
