Over the previous 2 years I have gained a HND in Sports Coaching & Development, and now study at Stirling University. In addition to this, I have 5 years of experience coaching multiple age groups and teams within North Lanarkshire, including experience at an elite academy and leading a U18’s women’s team. In future, I plan to continue progressing through UEFA Licences while obtaining the highest degree of education possible.
