I am 16 years of age and have been training in Muay Thai Boxing since I was 4 years of age and this continues to date.
After being involved in the sport I then went onto the grading system. I achieved all grades to level of Red Arm Band aged 11 years which was at Senior Level.
- Aged 14 years I graded Red/White Arm Band at Senior Level.
- Aged 15 years I graded Red/White/Yellow Arm Band at Senior Level and I am the youngest S.T.B.A. student to hold this grade.
- July 2002 I was selected to represent Scotland at the Kings World Cup Championship in Bangkok and won a bronze medal. I am currently ranked 3rd in the world at 48kg division in Muay Thai Boxing.
