My story

I grew up in a small town called Grimsby.

I grew up with completely normal vision. In school I noticed my vision rapidly declining and I was subsequently diagnosed with a rare eye condition called Stargardt’s disease. I got involved in sport after being inspired by watching London 2012 on TV. After narrowly missing selection for two Paralympics, my dream was realised in 2024 when I became a Paralympian in Paris and won two medals. Alongside my sport, I work within digital accessibility to create a more inclusive world for everybody.
