Why should you be on the Peak PS team?: I love to inspire! As well as looking great doing it. I have used Peak PS since I began paddling and I remember receiving my first team top deck in 2011 and I was super excited!
What can you bring to the party?: The tunes and energy
How did you get into paddling?: My auntie Diane Woods raced slalom when I was younger. My grandparents inspired me by watching a recording of her silver medal winning run from the 1994 Junior World Championships and I always wanted to beat that (I was a very competitive child).
Achievements: 2x Olympic Bronze 2024, Olympic Finalist at Tokyo. First British female to win a medal in all 3 disciplines at world championship level, 3rd female to do so on the international circuit. 74 international medals as of 2024, opening up about my mental health journey in the summer of 2020 to help people know they aren’t alone.
Best things about paddling: The uniqueness of each time you paddle the course. You can feel at harmony with the water to achieve great things. The experiences you gain from friends and competitors from around the world.
