I have worked in the sport and physical activity profession for many years.

I came to Solent in 2010 to study sports coaching with science and development. During my degree I worked with many schools and athletes in different areas. Upon graduation, I was offered a job as a school games organiser and have been in post since 2013. Being based at Solent University has allowed us to access an enormous workforce of students which has been key to our success.

I have been based at Solent University since August 2016 as one of the school games organisers. With a background in secondary school PE teaching as well as coaching within primary schools, it was the perfect role for me! I absolute love working closely with our schools in Southampton, offering a wide range of opportunities for all young people to be active within sport and ensuring competition remains at the heart of school sport.

Having studied at Solent University for both my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, I joined the Sport Education Partnership Programme team in October 2019. Prior to that, I worked with many different groups of children through the school setting and in the coaching environment. With sport, education and coaching being real passions of mine, when the opportunity came to incorporate coach education and school sport into one role, I couldn’t turn it down. I love coaching, getting stuck into the events with our SGOs, and giving students here at Solent University the invaluable workplace experience needed for these types of roles in the future.
