I am a Jamaican Olympic gymnast, presenter, stuntwoman, college recruiter, gymnastics coach and choreographer.
I won my first British Championships at nine years old and placed in the top six at every British Championships until the age of eighteen. I represented GB at many competitions including three Youth Olympics, two European Championships and the World Championships in 2011 where we qualified to the 2012 Olympics.
In 2012 I was awarded a gymnastics scholarship to UCLA and finished my UCLA career as the NCAA Balance beam champion and graduated with a degree in English.
After a year and a half out of the sport, at the 2019 World Championships, I made my dream come true by qualifying to the Tokyo Olympics! However, unfortunately I tore my ACL just days before competing. I made the most of the situation and did a short bar routine to officially become an Olympian.
Gymnastics has been the biggest part of my life story so far, however nowadays you'll most likely find me visiting gym clubs, presenting, working as a stunt woman, choreographing, traveling, baking, having a massage, online shopping and hanging out with my friends and family!
