She took up canoeing in 2014 after becoming Scottish champion in karate. Her transition was part of the Girls4Gold programme to uncover talented female athletes who could potentially compete at future Olympic Games. Within a year of the switch, she was selected to compete in the U23 World Championships in Portugal, where she finished 10th in the Women's C1 200m. From there the 26-year-old from Dunfermline finished seventh at the 2017 U23 World Championships before winning her first World Cup series medal in Duisburg taking bronze. She’ll now travel to Tokyo alongside fellow Scot Deborah Kerr, reigning Olympic champion Liam Heath and Emily Lewis in the Team GB canoe sprint team.
