Abigail works as a Sports Coach and Sport Therapist, based out of her business (Barbreck Studio) in Glasgow's Southside, she also teaches workshops and coaches athletes throughout the UK and worldwide. She also utilises her previous experience in Graphic Design for her work with Scottish Women in Sport.

She has been competing internationally and coaching in her sport since 2012 and through her experience in the sporting environment has become a keen advocate for females as athletes, coaches and support staff, and in addition for sporting organisations to be inclusive and diverse at organisational levels.

With a background in STEM Abigail is particularly keen to see progress in the expansion of focus on females in the fields of research and practical application of performance and coaching sciences.

Morven joined the Digital Commitee in 2022 as a blogger, but has since gone on to assist SW/S in social media promotion of our events and management of the website.

She currently works in the Marketing & Communications team at Scottish Athletics and has a background in leisure management and sports events, having worked for the Glasgow 2018 European Championships and the 2016 European Curling Championships.

She has a passion for helping people to get active and has a particular interest in sport and female health, in particular pre- and post-partum exercise, having recently become a mum herself.

Faatima is a member of sportscotland’s Young People’s Sport Panel and is a student in her final year of school. She has a love for sport, writing and art. She was inspired to apply for sportscotland’s panel to represent her background, sporting communities and experiences, and raise the profile of Scottish sport. Growing up homeschooled, sport has always been a huge part of Faatima’s life. Her main sport is Cricket, which she plays at club, regional and national levels.

Due to cricket being traditionally perceived as male dominated, it can therefore seem daunting for girls to get involved, meaning it is often discounted along with countless amazing sports like it. Having experienced and witnessed this firsthand, Faatima joined Scottish Women in Sport to play a role in promoting the successes of women in sport, educating people about the ways sport can be made more accessible for women, and increasing female participation.

Emily currently works at Cricket Scotland as their Disability Development Manager. As well as this, she recently launched her own sport consultancy that looks to help female athletes manage their own health and wellbeing in sport with a particular focus on the menstrual cycle and its influence.

She completed her Masters degree in Sport Psychology at the University of Stirling in 2023 and continues to utilise this in her practice with athletes. More recently she has taken to writing educational blogs and podcasts around the menstrual cycle in sport and will look to bring this expertise to SW/S.

Emily believes we need to speak to each other, educate ourselves, and allow women to have a voice to progress female sport. Her hope as a volunteer writer for SW/S is to be able to talk to, and share the stories from, women in Scottish sport and highlight female health in the process.

Alice recently completed her Masters in Physical Activity for Health at the University of Edinburgh, and will help us deliver our 'Wellbeing Edit' which focuses on recent developments and research around health and fitness.

A passionate advocate for women and girls in sport, Lorna has dedicated her career to empowering young women to believe in themselves. From coaching girl's rugby in Scotland to leading PE in an all-girls school in New Zealand, she has championed opportunities that foster confidence, leadership, and resilience. 

She played rugby at school, club, and university levels, coached for years, and won a Scottish National 2nd Division volleyball title. A keen snowboarder (with a crash-bang-wallop style!) and late-blooming swimmer, she believes sport should be accessible at all ages and stages of life. 

With nearly two decades supporting her husband’s professional sports career, Lorna understands the sacrifices behind elite sport and the unseen role partners play in sustaining high-performance environments. Now back home in Glasgow after adventures in New Zealand, France, and the USA, she brings a global perspective to digital engagement and storytelling, including her self-started project That Gluten Free Woman. 

Helen runs her own business as a personal trainer. She specialises in injury and illness rehabilitation along with fitness and nutrition for women's health (peri/menopause, ovarian issues and IVF prep along with ante and post natal). Helen also trains and assesses future personal trainers into the industry.  

In her spare time she likes to walk. She has taken on many a marathon distance for various charities and can usually be found on a weekend on a long distance footpath or up a hill. With this style of walking Helen also takes in many a training session to make sure she is ready for such events.  

She is also a big advocate that any kind of exercise whether that is sport, walking or gym work (to name a few) is excellent for your mind, body and soul.
