She moved to New Zealand at the age of 14 and originally took up boxing in 2003 to get fit.[4]
Pritchard retired whilst still the New Zealand champion but after failing to qualify for the Rio Olympics.[5] She was a batonbearer for the 2022 Commonwealth Games Queen's Baton Relay when the baton came to Auckland in March 2022.[6]
