When did you start gymnastics and why?
I started when I was 6 years old. I was always a very active child so gymnastics was the perfect sport for me.

What's your favourite apparatus?
I love A.Bars. I enjoy learning new moves and skills and I love to train on Bars as it is quite challenging.

What are the best and worst things about being a gymnast?
The best thing about it is being able to learn new moves and gain new skills whilst keeping fit and having fun. Having falls and injuries are the down side of being a gymnast as they can put you out of training for a while.

What do you enjoy about training at Redcar?
Redcar is a very small and friendly club. The gymnasts and the coaches are all very close.
