My Story
Sport and engineering have shaped my journey in different ways, but both are connected by discipline, precision, resilience, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
I am a full-time international shooting athlete competing in the 10m Air Rifle and 50m Small Bore Three-Position disciplines. Over the years, the sport has taught me the importance of focus, consistency, and performing under pressure. These experiences have shaped not only the athlete I am today but also the way I approach challenges in every aspect of my life.
Alongside my sporting career, I completed a BEng (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering followed by an MSc in Engineering Management at the University of Portsmouth. During my master's degree, I developed a strong interest in sustainable engineering through my dissertation, which explored banana fibre-reinforced biodegradable composites, evaluating their mechanical performance, water absorption behaviour, and environmental sustainability using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
I believe the mindset developed through elite sport complements engineering and research. Discipline, curiosity, critical thinking, and continuous improvement are values that guide me both on the shooting range and in my academic journey.
Today, I continue to train, compete, and embrace new experiences through competitions, training camps, travel, and lifelong learning. Whether I'm preparing for my next competition or exploring new engineering ideas, my goal remains the same: to keep learning, growing, and striving for excellence every day.
