The next chapter.....

The next chapter.....

I am grateful for the incredible journey I've experienced as a competitor on the international stage. Representing my country and competing against the world's best athletes has been a privilege and a dream come true. However, after careful consideration and reflection, I have decided to step down from international competition and embark on a new chapter in my career as a coach.


Gold Medal 2017 ITF World Championships (Sparring)

This decision was not made lightly, but I believe it is the right one for me at this time. As I transition into coaching, I am excited about the opportunity to share my knowledge, experience, and passion for the sport with the next generation of athletes. Coaching will allow me to give back to the sport that has given me so much and to play a role in shaping the future of Taekwon-Do.


Double Bronze Medal PUMA World Championships 2012


While I will miss the thrill of competing, I am looking forward to this new challenge and the chance to make a positive impact on the lives of others. I am committed to supporting and guiding our England Team to reach their full potential, both on and off the mat.


Flanders International 2024 Gold & Silver

I am grateful for the support of my family, coaches and teammates throughout my competitive career, and I am excited about the journey ahead as a coach.

And what an incredible coach you will continue to be. You have dedicated your life to Taekwon-do. I witness the love, time and dedication you put in. GTUK are lucky to have you, and the England squad are mighty powerful having you as part of the leadership team. I'm so proud to call you my instructor, I'm so proud of the club we have created with your many years of experience and your expert skill at the helm, and I'm even more proud to call you my husband. I'm excited for you, for this next chapter of your journey.
