What is your sporting ambition?
To be in the London 2012 Paralympics and getting a Top 4 spot - but really I'm of course aiming for Gold!
What was your inspiration to take up your sport?
I took it up when I was younger because I pictured fencing would be like they show it in action movies.
What are your interests outside of sport?
Computer games, chess and musical theatre.
What three words best describe you?
Jokey. Fun. Enthusiastic.
Who should light the flame for London 2012?
I can't think of anyone in particular but it should definitely be someone who embodies and believes in the spirit of the games.
If you were a character from a film, who would you be and why?
Will turner from "Pirates of the Caribbean" because he isn’t exactly savvy but still charming and good with a sword.
