What was your best goal or play? I’m not sure I could pick just one but windmilling a breakaway always feels pretty sweet!

Favourite PWHL team? PWHL Vancouver
What would you like to tell our supporters? Supporters are the backbone of this club and we value each and every one of you!
When did you start playing hockey and why? I started playing in 2013 after leaving the Army; I’d played roller hockey as a kid and always wanted to play ice hockey, but my parents were never on board with the late-night training sessions on school nights. So I saw my opportunity and took it!
Whats the best moment of your career so far? When we formally announced the creation of the Valkyries development team – such a huge step for the club towards growing the women’s game.
Whats a funny hockey memory? I have been known to be responsible for bringing completely the wrong colour spare shirts to an away game, requiring loaner shirts from the home team!
What’s your pre-game ritual? Oh so many…on a game day I always eat the same foods, start my stretching at the same time, grab a pre-game coffee on the way to the rink, put my left pads on first…the list goes on!
How does hockey help you with your personal life? It has so many benefits – fitness, social, teamwork and accountability, as well as being an amazing way to de-stress with some of my favourite people.
What’s your favourite thing about playing with Solent? Undoubtedly the people in this club. I think we have an amazing, friendly and hard working club culture that I’m really proud of.
