Head Coach & Founder of Aspiring Basketball Academy.
I came to New Zealand in 2018 from Scotland and have been living in Wanaka since early 2019. I was playing professionally in the British Basketball League for Caledonia Pride, before an injury forced me to retire and I moved to New Zealand on a whim!
In my youth, I played every age group for Scotland, representing my country for years throughout Europe. I went on to compete for our Senior Women's National Team both domestically and abroad, a goal of mine since I was just 10 years old!
After 2 years in New Zealand, I began representing Central Otago and then was recruited to the Otago Gold Rush Women's professional programme as an import in 2021.
My heart is still very much with the game of basketball, and my passion is in coaching and the future of the game here in New Zealand. This is how Aspiring Basketball Academy, a dedicated basketball club, was born!
There is a huge gap in the opportunities available to young people in basketball, especially here in Central Otago. I want to see those kids have the same opportunities I had through this sport and help produce the next generation of New Zealand basketball players!
