What is your sporting ambition?
To replicate the success I’ve had in the London 2012 Paralympic Games
What was your inspiration to take up your sport?
Archery was something that I had an aptitude for and could do at my own pace. It is a sport always with its own frustrating challenges.
What are your interests outside of sport?
Traditional film photography
In your mind, what's the most memorable moment of past Olympics/Paralympics?
Many, but an early one was the agonising wait at the Sydney 2000 Paralympics at the end of the Ladies' team final match, before it was decided that GBR missed out on the gold medal by just a hair's width.
What three words best describe you?
Disorganised, Indecisive, Quiet
Who should light the flame for London 2012?
I would like it to be a combined effort of several athletes simultaneously - past, present and Paralympian.
If you were a character from a film, who would you be and why?
Winston Smith in Nineteen Eighty-Four; Big Brother and the Thought Police are here to stay.
