I feel incredibly privileged to have been given the opportunity to present my research at the XVI AEISAD International Congress and honoured that my research has been recognised externally. I am nervous but excited and looking forward to participating in an International Congress for the first time.

I hope that my research allows people to see that although gender equality in sport has come a long way, there is still a long way to go. I want it to encourage people to question the current sporting norms we see every day, and hopefully it will inspire change and make the sporting landscape a more inclusive and equal space for women.

Following graduation, I have just started as a student on the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's Degree in Sports Ethics and Integrity. My studies at Loughborough contributed to me getting a full scholarship and provided me with a base understanding of Sport Integrity.
