Fan

I’m a 19-year-old student at St Mary’s University, Twickenham, with a strong interest in applying data science to support and enhance football performance. I enjoy working with data not just to understand the game, but to help inform better decisions on and off the pitch.

My experience so far includes statistical modelling, performance tracking, and tactical analysis, all driven by a genuine love for football. I’m particularly interested in how data can complement coaching insight, and I’m always looking to develop my skills further by learning from real-world environments.

Character

The Person
Behind The Data What drives me, day to day

01
Energetic
Captaining Berkhamsted Raiders pushed me out of my comfort zone quickly with the move to adult football. Adapting to the tougher, more physical game, and a difficult first season forcing us to learn fast, we're on track this season for a solid mid-table finish. It’s shaped my resilience and how I respond to challenges.
02
Curious
I enjoy cooking, trying new cuisines, experimenting with ingredients, and learning as I go. Whether it works or not, I enjoy the process. It’s a space where I can explore ideas and think differently.
03
Dedicated
Staying disciplined with my fitness, routine, and overall mindset, always looking for small ways to improve and build consistency over time. For me, it’s about showing up properly and putting the work in.
04
Open Minded
Travelling has helped me see things from different perspectives. Exploring new places, taking in architecture, history, and nature, and capturing moments through photography has made me more aware and observant of the world around me.
05
Independent
Being home educated meant finding my own way early on. I’ve had to stay self-motivated, learn through experience, and take responsibility for my own progress. It’s given me a strong sense of independence and trust in my own approach.
06
Communicator
Working in a bushcraft and forest school setting, I’ve supported children to take risks and try something new, from lighting fires to using tools safely. It’s taught me how to communicate clearly, build trust, and adapt to different people.
