What is your sporting ambition?
My ultimate ambition is to be Olympic Champion, on route I hope to be both European and World Champion.
What was your inspiration to take up your sport?
I have always enjoyed participating in all sports, at the age of 6 I was taken along to try out Judo and have loved participating in the sport since.
What are your interests outside of sport?
I am currently studying for a BSc (Hons) in Sports Coaching, I enjoy spending my spare time with my boyfriend, friends and family, going for delicious meals, to the cinema and of course for a good old shop.
In your mind, what's the most memorable moment of past Olympics/Paralympics?
I have to say that from the last few Olympics my most memorable moment is from the 2008 Beijing Olympics when Bolt took the 200m title with such ease, after having already stolen the 100m title earlier.
What three words best describe you?
Determined, Competitive & Cheeky
Who should light the flame for London 2012?
Sir Chris Hoy
If you were a character from a film, who would you be and why?
Sleepy from the seven dwarfs, when I can (which isn’t very often) I love a good old lie in.
