Kimberley is an approachable individual with a determined approach to her career. She
has a keen and enthusiast approach to many sports including badminton and tennis
maintaining a competitive attitude. Although she enjoy taking part in other activities my
main focus is golf. She has been competing at high standards of golf for a number of
years and continuously striving for greater challenges. She began my career in golf by
competing in, and winning the English Girls Flight 2 championship. From there she has
represented her club and county on many occasions, eventually leading the junior sec-
tion of Saltburn Golf Club and a team of Yorkshire junior girls in county events. This not
only demonstrates an ability to work well as part of a team but also the ability to lead.
Outside of golf Kimberley loves fashion, shopping, being pampered, the gym, socialising
and spending time with her family, friends and boyfriend.
