What is your sport and position?

I play Golf at a national and international level.

What made you pick your sport?

I got into golf through my dad. At first, I loved seeing how far I was able to hit the ball. Once I got older and better I really enjoyed the competitive side, especially when I started beating the boys and watching them get annoyed. It made it more fun and pushed me to get better and better.

If you didn’t do your sport, what would you do and why?

Music, I’m passionate about music and also play piano to a grade six standard. It’s something fun which is a nice distraction from golf sometimes.

Why did you choose to study at RGU?

I chose to study at RGU because the new golf scholarship programme really stood out to me. It was a fantastic opportunity to develop both academically and athletically. I also wanted to continue living at home and with RGU being local I could continue living at home while working towards my degree and golf aspirations.

How do you think the sport scholar program will help you progress as a student athlete?

The sport scholarship programme at RGU is already helping me progress as a student-athlete. I have access to the Paul Lawrie Golf Centre, which I use during breaks between classes, and that flexibility really helps me stay consistent with my training. The gym facilities are excellent, and the RGU Sport staff have been incredibly supportive - it’s a warm and welcoming environment that motivates me to keep improving both on the course and in my studies.

What is your greatest sporting achievement?

My greatest sporting achievement to date is winning the Northern Women’s Open championship in 2025 at Carnoustie. It was a huge milestone for me competing and winning at such a prestigious event and venue against a strong field. The victory gave me a lot of motivation and confidence to keep improving and pursuing higher level events.

Who is your sporting role model and why?

My favourite sporting role models are Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. I really like Tiger because of his mindset and how he’s come back from tough challenges, it shows me the importance of focus and resilience. Rory’s swing is amazing, and I love the way he moves with confidence on the golf course. Watching him makes me want to not just work on my game but also how I carry myself on the course.

What’s the most valuable lesson you’ve learned from your sport?

The most valuable lesson I’ve learned in golf is patience and how to stay calm under pressure. Golf is a game where things don’t always go your way, and learning to keep focused and not get frustrated has helped me not only on the course but in other areas of life too.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

I see myself competing consistently on tour and hopefully winning some events. My long-term goal is to play in the Solheim Cup, representing Europe at the highest level. At the same time, I want to have graduated with a degree in Business and Management, which will give me a strong foundation for life after golf. Ideally, I’ll have secured golf sponsorships to support my professional career and help me focus fully on performing at my best.

Favourite sporting memory?

My favourite golf memory is winning the Northern Women’s Open at Carnoustie in 2025. Going into the tournament, I felt like the underdog as I didn’t have the same support as some of the other players, which made me feel a bit alone out there. However, I had my parents and even my dog cheering me on from the sidelines, which gave me so much strength. I had to be gritty, stay focused, and trust my game. In the end, coming out on top from day1 at such an iconic course made it all feel worth it.
