Her journey into tandem cycling began in August 2020. By March 2021, she started riding with pilot Jenny Holl. "It was quite strange because I wasn't used to riding on the track - and wasn't used to being on a tandem either, so the first few laps were sort of learning how to ride a bike and certainly learning how to ride together," she recalled.

Despite initial challenges, their partnership flourished. "I think almost from the first time we met I totally trusted Jenny on the front of the bike, but I do think having the time to spend socially helps as well. We get on really well," she said. Their communication became their greatest strength.

Memorable Moments

One of her most memorable moments came when she won gold in the tandem B road race at the 2021 World Championships in Cascais, Portugal. This victory marked a significant milestone in her career and solidified her place in para cycling.

Influences and Guidance

Tandem pilot Jenny Holl has been a significant influence on her career. Holl's guidance and communication skills have played a crucial role in their success as a team. "Jenny is very good at telling me the stuff I need to know without overcomplicating things," she noted.

Future Ambitions

Looking ahead, she aims to compete at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris. This goal reflects her dedication and commitment to para cycling. Her journey from being spotted at a talent camp to aiming for the Paralympics showcases her determination and passion for the sport.

The relationship between her and Jenny Holl continues to grow stronger. "The more we get to know each other, the more we know how each other communicates - which obviously helps on the bike," she explained. Their mutual trust and understanding are vital components of their success.

Her story is one of perseverance and teamwork. From her first experience on a tandem bike to winning gold at the World Championships, she has shown remarkable progress. With her sights set on the 2024 Paralympics, her journey is far from over.
