About Me
I am focused, determined and always willing to go the extra mile to get the results I want. I have played hockey for many years and love it, whether it is training or playing, I never miss a session. I volunteer in many roles within my club; I have passed my junior club coaching qualification and love helping younger players learn the game. I am a qualified umpire and have umpired numerous junior matches - including the 2022 London Regional U12 Finals. I also helped set up and volunteer with Flyerz, our club’s section for children with pan-disabilities, I have particularly enjoyed the Flyerz involvement. I would look to continue such volunteering roles at my US college. As a student athlete, whilst my first love is sport and hockey, I enjoy my studies and have always got good results in tests and exams and am able to manage my time well to make sure I hit all deadlines. I am really excited about being able to combine studying Psychology, which I find so fascinating, with playing college sport to a high level. I recognise that stretching yourself to achieve both physically and academically requires planning, organisation and commitment, which are essential life skills. I am a team player, who finds it easy to get along with almost anyone.

INTERVIEW
I stand out as being very competitive and never wanting to lose, and I am a good team player. On the hockey field, I win 50/50 balls, gain lots of turnovers, and win a lot of short corners, whilst very seldom giving the ball away. I leave everything on the pitch, but am good at controlling my emotions.
Once I understood how the student athlete concept worked for field hockey in the US, I have been focused on going to college there. The opportunity to train and play as almost a full-time athlete, with the high level of support, great coaching and facilities is very attractive. I would love the opportunity to become the best hockey player I can be - rather than playing and training on a more informal basis as a student in the UK.
I started studying Psychology at A level in 2021 and have loved it, to the extent that I’ve decided that’s what I would like to major in at college. I find all aspects of Psychology fascinating, but particularly like the aspects involved with the criminal mind. At one stage, I thought that I would like to be a forensic pathologist, but at the moment I think I am most attracted to being a psychologist specialising in criminology. Therefore, the quality and optionality of the Psychology Department at the university or college I am looking at is important to me.
