Sporting philosophy / motto
"It's hard to even describe to people how physical [rowing] is. You're always putting your body under so much stress and you're always so tired that you're generally quite fragile, emotionally." (news.bbc.co.uk, 23 Sep 2010)
Awards
By claiming a silver medal with Heather Stanning in the women's pair at the 2010 World Rowing Championships in New Zealand, just two years after she started rowing, she became the first athlete discovered by UK Sport's Sporting Giants talent identification scheme to win a medal at a senior World Championships. (bbc.co.uk, 09 Feb 2012; britishrowing.org, 24 Feb 2012)
General
WHIRLWIND
She was chosen through the Sporting Giants programme because she was "tall and sporty" and admits that her progress through the ranks of British Rowing had been unusual. "I don't think it's very common coming into rowing that fast. It's been a bit of a whirlwind as well, I still feel quite new to it all and because I'm so new to the sport I still feel like I have a heck of a lot of improvements to make." (guardian.co.uk, 24 Jun 2011; thisissomerset.co.uk, 11 Feb 2012)
TEACHER
Prior to her involvement with British Rowing she worked as a Physical Education teacher in Bath. (britishrowing.org, 24 Feb 2012)
