Dissertation ✅ Title: Vaping and the blood pressure response to exercise Had the best 6 weeks collecting data in the lab with my fellow researchers. Could not of done it without my amazing dissertation supervisors Dr Chant and Dr Hart. Super excited for what’s next!👩🏻‍🔬

Data collection ✅ The last 4 weeks I have had the best time collecting data for my dissertation looking at the effects of vaping on the blood pressure response to exercise. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Here is a photo of my diss group with our favourite equipment during the project!

The last BUCS dance :( 4-0 dub to finish a fantastic 3 years BUCS league. Whether that was managering the 1s, playing in the 2s or 1s it’s been very memorial and fun! My second home and family! Made friends for life ❤️ Forever grateful.

Where has the time gone. Today is my last BUCS dance with this incredible club. Forever grateful to the influential coaches I have met at Bristol and the endless support they game me especially during my rehab! This club is the reason I got back playing the sport i love.

My fastest 5km post hip surgery 😍 With a bit better pacing could of deffo broken 25 mins. First 1km was 5:21min/km and the last 3km all sub 5min/km 😎 I didn’t even plan on going for a PB until 2km in 2023 was the healing the year, 2024 is the year to build 🚧👷‍♀️

My first ever @parkrunUK ✅ Fair to say it was quite muddy

Beyond excited and honoured to have been asked to captain this years indoor squad ❤️

Frozen hockey pitch 🤝 10.5km run with fellow teammate Sienna 🫶🏼 Only went out for a casual run and not look at pace until the end but super happy with an average pace of 5:20min/km 💪🏼.
