Staff - BowlsWales

Tell us about your background?

After graduating from University of Wales Institute (now Cardiff Met) in 2011 with a First Class Honours degree, I started my Sports Development career with the Welsh Netball Association as a Development Officer. My time at Welsh Netball allowed me
to take on different roles within the organization and gave me the opportunity in various parts of Wales.

I have been involved in sport from a young age: playing, coaching and even occasionally umpiring netball. I still play netball on a weekly basis, and spend my other time making memories with my young daughter and husband, where we like to explore Wales with our family dog.

How are you enjoying your role with BowlsWales?

I joined BowlsWales after seven years in netball. What I find exciting is that a vast number of people are already involved in bowls and that there is the potential for growth within the sport among many different groups.

What does your role involve?

I initiate projects, provide advice and share information to ensure clubs, coaches, officials and members help shape the direction of bowls in Wales.

I work with the National Governing Bodies plus various associations, charities, groups and clubs to ensure that we continue to grow the game through projects such as partnerships and our club accreditation scheme.

What are your aspirations for bowls in Wales?

To raise the profile of the sport, and change people’s perception of the sport, giving it the recognition it deserves.
