Football has always been more than just a game for me—it’s been a purpose, a pathway, and a platform.

I fell in love with football back in primary school. I wasn’t just kicking a ball around the playground—I was dreaming. Dreaming of what could be, where the game could take me, and who I could become through it. By secondary school, I’d already stepped into coaching. I found just as much joy in helping others grow as I did playing myself. That’s when I realised: I wasn’t just passionate about football—I was passionate about people. 

After school, I pursued that passion academically, studying Sports and Exercise Science at Loughborough College. While there, I earned my coaching badge, pushing my understanding of the game deeper. From Loughborough, I moved on to Manchester Metropolitan University, continuing my studies in Sports Science.

During my time there, I had the privilege of working at Manchester United as a Performance Analyst for the Girls Academy. That experience taught me about the importance of detail, discipline, and development—on and off the pitch. I also became a Young Leader for Manchester FA and completed the FA Leadership Course, both of which helped shape my voice and vision as a leader in the game.

In 2024, I graduated with my degree—and more importantly, with a clearer sense of purpose.

After university, I joined the Manchester United Foundation as a mentor for young people. It was one of the most rewarding chapters of my journey so far—seeing how football could be used as a tool for change, a source of hope, and a way to connect. I then transitioned to Everton in the Community, working as a Careers Mentor. This role allowed me to meet young people from all walks of life and help them see that their future is not defined by their past or their postcode.

It was during this time that Relentless was born.

Relentless is more than a business—it’s a mission. Rooted in Faith, Future, and Football, Relentless exists to remind young people that they are more than a contract, more than a kit, more than a footballer. They are human. And that alone is more than enough. Football may be the dream, but identity must come first.

Alongside all this, I’ve invested in myself—gaining qualifications in mentoring, trauma-informed care, coaching, and of course, football. Every course, every experience, every young person I’ve worked with has shaped me into who I am today.

My journey is still unfolding. But if there’s one thing I know for sure—football may have started it, but people have always been at the heart of it.
