I’ve always enjoyed sport and became locally renowned for my talents in mixed rounders from an early age. Football and rowing came less naturally but I’ve tried my best to beat mediocrity with the help of family and friends. I believe sport is uniquely placed to inspire, engage and educate people of every age. It brings people together and builds bridges and friendships that last through the years.

I came to Right To Play in a roundabout way after coming to London to study for my Masters. Interning one day a week and whenever possible at weekends, I came to realise what a special organisation Right To Play is. The UK Team is young, passionate and engaged. I was delighted to join it as a Communications Assistant in January 2009.
