Water polo career
My most recent internationals have been with the National Team in Holland in September 2005 and Sweden in November 2005.

I played for the City of Dundee from 2000-2002 winning the Scottish Cup 3 years in a row. I currently play for Warrender women's team in the Scottish National League and for the University of Edinburgh Team. Whilst captain of the University team we came 5th in the BUSA championships in 2005. The Edinburgh University Women also won the double crown as Scottish Cup champions and Scottish universities champions in 2005.

I played as a Scottish Universities International in 2005, 2004, and 2001 at the Celtic Nations.

Personal
I was a competitive swimmer for 15 year before starting university where I was recruited for the Water Polo Team.

Since then I've never looked back and my love of the game has driven me to always improve my best. The diverse combination of skills involved in playing Water Polo makes it the most unique, fun and challenging sport I've ever tried.

I've always dreamed of playing for my country in the Commonwealth Games and I've learned that dreams do come true if you make them.
