Receiving this scholarship has provided me with support to continue with my sport (windsurfing) whilst also developing my career. Beginning a career journey is extremely important for me because it gives me the confidence to dedicate time and money to my competitions now, with the knowledge I have a stable career option for when I retire as an elite athlete.

My degree of Actuarial studies allows me to pursue other passions I have - particularly my interest in statistics and maths, whilst providing me with balance in my daily life. I believe it’s so important for every athlete to consider their career path, to provide them with direction and security during and after their sporting journey.
