Life before Stowe?

After leaving Stowe as a pupil in 2007 I spent a few years playing professional rugby before studying degrees in Sports Science and Strength & Conditioning. Since then I have worked in all areas of the fitness industry, most significantly working with children and adults with learning difficulties, specialising in autism. My work has focused on general health and wellbeing as well as motor skills development and nutritional support.

What do you enjoy most about your subject?

I am extremely passionate about sport and strength and conditioning is a major part of that. There is a lot of problem solving required in analysing an athlete and getting them to move better, developing exercises that will improve performance as well as reduce the likelihood of injury. 

What do you enjoy most about Stowe?

Stowe is an incredible place. Not only stunningly beautiful but has a unique feel to it especially during term time. 

What is your favourite lesson?

Gym!

What do others say about you?

Ultra competitive!

Passions

Extremely passionate about all sport, especially cricket and rugby. Having spent most of my school career in the choir and in the drama department I love music and theatre. Watching live performance is something I enjoy most.
