What is your sporting ambition?
To medal at a major championships - London would be a nice one!
What was your inspiration to take up your sport?
I was good at it! I also really enjoyed it. Sport was very important at the RAF schools that I attended and the PE teachers there were super keen on athletics.
What are your interests outside of sport?
Growing my own veg! Gardening at my friends - we live in a first floor flat! Being practical. I am a qualified Design Technology Teacher. Computer Aided Design.
In your mind, what's the most memorable moment of past Olympics/Paralympics?
Kelly Holmes winning double Olympic Gold in Athens. Recently I found the performance of Petra Majdic of Slovenia win a bronze medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics in cross country skiing inspiring. Petra suffered a 3 metre fall during warm up breaking 4 ribs and puncturing her lung! This highlighted to me how powerful the mind is and how far we can push ourselves.
What three words best describe you?
Bubbly, Excitable, Determined
Who should light the flame for London 2012?
Kelly Holmes would be a popular choice.
